"In New York, as Hy B. Turner emphasizes in his lively press history...the papers were divided along party lines....Turner provides telling anecdotes about circulation wars, yellow journalism trailblazing newspapermen as Richard Harding Davis, Frederic Remington, Heywood Broun (the founder and first president of the newspaper guild), Walter Lippmann and a woman--the fabled Nelly Bly....[This book] makes the present-day reader nostalgic for the old broadsheet newspapers that were never called 'media.'"Hy B. Turner is the author of 'When Giants Ruled: The Story of Park Row, NY's Great Newspaper Street (Communications and Media Studies)', published 1999 under ISBN 9780823219438 and ISBN 0823219437.
