Book Overview

Critics and Crusaders is a non-fiction book written by Charles A. Madison. It explores the history of American journalism from the 19th century to the early 20th century, focusing on the role of the press in shaping public opinion and influencing political and social change. The book examines the rise of the muckrakers, a group of investigative journalists who exposed corruption and abuses of power in government and industry, as well as the emergence of yellow journalism, a sensationalist style of reporting that prioritized entertainment over accuracy. Madison also discusses the impact of technological advancements, such as the telegraph and the printing press, on the media landscape. Through a series of case studies and profiles of influential journalists, Critics and Crusaders provides a detailed and engaging account of the evolution of American journalism and its role in shaping the nation's history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
