About this book
Editors help shape public opinion, but Hamilton Holt turns attention to the forces shaping editors. Drawing on his work at The Independent, he examines the tension between journalism as a public service and publishing as a business. Advertising revenue, circulation, printing technology and the rapid expansion of American periodicals give his argument a practical foundation. Figures about newspapers and magazines sit alongside examples of how advertising became a major source of income.
The essay then follows commercial influence into the handling of news. Holt discusses press agents, publicity campaigns and the pressure advertisers can exert on editorial judgment. He also distinguishes dependable advertising from misleading claims, giving his criticism a specific business context.
