Summary:

"The story of the American newsroom is that of modern American journalism. This holistic history tells that story, from the 1920s through the 1960s, in a time of great change and controversy in the field, when journalism was produced in "news factories" by news workers with dozens of different roles, and not just once a day, but hourly, using the latest technology and setting the stage for the later century's information economy"-- Provided by publisher.
