American Newspaper in the 1980's book review #2

The book that I read was, “American Newspapers in the 1980’s”. I really liked the book and how it showed the roles and responsibilities of the newspaper. They also discussed how they view the audience as information consumers and newspapers think of themselves as information providers. The main premise of the book is that Other media can complement, but not replace newspapers because of the information and the research that is put into a story. Overall the book was an easy read and it gave me a new respect for newspapers and the amount of effort the workers exert to produce a quality newspaper that is un-biased towards their own opinion. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn about Newspapers.
