Book Synopsis
The story of the American newsroom is that of modern American journalism. In this holistic history, Will Mari tells that story from the 1920s to the 1960s, a time of great change and controversy in the field, one in which journalism was produced in ‘news factories’ by news workers with dozens of different roles, using the latest technology.

Trade Review
“A rich and provocative exploration.” —John Nerone, University of Illinois, author of Violence against the Press: Policing the Public Sphere in U.S. History

“The breadth and depth of The American Newsroom reveals a world of hierarchies and rivalries that effectively illuminates our understanding of what many view as the 'golden age' of print journalism. The emphasis on the emergence and consolidation of occupational identities gives this book an appeal considerably beyond the academic world. Mari makes a strikingly original contribution to newsroom history and pushes forwards the boundaries of the discipline.” —Carole O’Reilly, Senior Lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies, University of Salford, UK
