THE MEDIAS ROLE IN DEFINING THE NATION - DAVID ...

In 1897  William Randolph Hearst said that his newspaper did not simply cover events that had
already happened. It doesn't wait for things to turn up  Hearst said. It turns them up. This
book traces the close relationship between media and the United States' development from the
colonial period to the twenty-first century. It explores how the active voice of
citizen-journalists and trained media professionals has turned to media to direct the moral
compass of the people and to set the agenda for a nation  and discusses how changes in
technology have altered the way in which participatory journalism is practiced. What makes the
book powerful is that its assessment of the influence and use of media encompasses many levels:
it explores the potential of media as an agent for change from within small communities to the
national stage.
