The Year that Defined American Journalism explores the succession
of remarkable and decisive moments in American journalism during
1897 - a year of significant transition that helped redefine the
profession and shape its modern contours. This defining year
featured a momentous clash of paradigms pitting the activism of
William Randolph Hearst's participatory 'journalism of action'
against the detached, fact-based antithesis of activist journalism,
as represented by Adolph Ochs of the New York Times, and an
eccentric experiment in literary journalism pursued by Lincoln
Steffens at the New York Commercial-Advertiser. Resolution of the
three-sided clash of paradigms would take years and result
ultimately in the ascendancy of the Times' counter-activist model,
which remains the defining standard for mainstream American
journalism. The Year That Defined American Journalism introduces
the year-study methodology to mass communications research and
enriches our understanding of a pivotal moment in media history.
