Publisher's Synopsis
""You Can't Print That! The Truth Behind The News, 1918-1928"" is a book written by George Seldes that explores the role of censorship and propaganda in American journalism during the early 20th century. The book focuses on the years following World War I and the Red Scare, a period of heightened political tension and fear of communism in the United States. Seldes, a journalist himself, provides a critical analysis of the media's coverage of these events, exposing the ways in which powerful interests, including government officials and corporate executives, manipulated the news to shape public opinion. He also examines the ways in which journalists and publishers faced censorship and persecution for attempting to report the truth. Through a series of case studies and personal anecdotes, Seldes argues that the media has a responsibility to serve the public interest by reporting the facts, even when those facts are inconvenient or unpopular. ""You Can't Print That!"" is a thought-provoking and timely book that sheds light on the challenges facing journalism today.This is a new release of the original 1929 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
