The Responsibility Of The Press

By Marie Corelli

Book Overview

The Responsibility of the Press is a non-fiction book written by Marie Corelli. It was first published in 1904 and is a critical analysis of the role of the press in society. The book argues that the press has a responsibility to uphold moral and ethical standards in its reporting, and that it should not sensationalize stories or pander to the lowest common denominator in order to increase circulation. Corelli also criticizes the tendency of the press to focus on negative stories and to ignore positive news, arguing that this creates a distorted view of the world. The book is a passionate defense of the importance of responsible journalism and the need for the press to act in the public interest. It remains relevant today as a reminder of the crucial role that the press plays in shaping public opinion and holding those in power accountable.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Free Opinions Freely Expressed on Certain Phases of Modern Social Life and Conduct, by Marie Corelli.
