Synopses & Reviews
The growth of the suburbs has changed the face of America. Every aspect of life has been affected, including the daily newspaper.
The Press and the Suburbs examines the phenomenon of suburban journalism by telling the story of the twenty-six daily newspapers of New Jersey. Is suburban journalism good journalism? Is it possible to judge newspapers the way reviewers rate restaurants, with three stars going to the best? Sachsman and Sloat answer these questions and in doing so make a significant contribution to the study of newspapers in America.
