Scandal and Civility by Marcus Daniel
A compelling account of how passionately partisan editors in the early Republic overthrew impartial journalism and sparked the birth of democracy in America
Historian Marcus Daniel constructs a compelling and extraordinarily readable account of America in the pivotal decade of the 1790s..Daniel provides equilibrium and perspective from an 'outsider' to the journalism history subfield...Scandal & Civility is a ripping good yarn that captures the chaos, nastiness, and verbal fisticuffs of the raucous early American press. It is just plain fun to read...Daniel's book is a valuable contribution...and places journalism center stage. Ultimately, Scandal and Civility is satisfying and persuasive, and could help propel the study of journalism history into the main channels of American historical discourse. merican Journalism
