Kessinger Legacy Reprints: Liberty and the News (1920) (Hardcover)

Liberty And The News is a non-fiction book written by Walter Lippmann and published in 1920. The book discusses the role of the press in a democratic society and how it can either promote or undermine the principles of liberty and democracy. Lippmann argues that the press has a responsibility to provide accurate and unbiased information to the public, but that this is often hindered by commercial interests, political bias, and sensationalism. He also explores the impact of technology on the press, particularly the rise of radio and its potential to shape public opinion. The book is considered a classic in the field of media studies and is still relevant today in the age of social media and fake news.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
