What is American Journalists: Getting the Story (Oxford Profiles) about?

<p>In 60 essays, this volume profiles American journalists from colonial times to the present—reporters, editors, publishers, photographers, and broadcasters—whose careers reflected major developments in their profession and in the history of the United States. In a speech to <b>Newsweek</b> correspondents in 1963, publisher Philip Graham described journalism as "the first rough draft of history." These journalists confronted and helped to shape the discussion of major issues and events in American history, from the American revolution through abolition, westward expansion, the Civil War, the civil rights movement, immigration, and the women's movement, as well as major constitutional issues involving the First Amendment protection of freedom of the press. Biographies of well-known journalists, from Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Paine to Walter Cronkite and Rupert Murdoch, appear alongside some who may be less familiar, such as Elias Boudinot, founder of the first Cherokee language newspaper; Abraham Cahan, editor of the <b>Jewish Daily Forward</b>; and Daniel Craig, who in the 1830s used carrier pigeons to ferry the news. Other subjects include Margaret Green Draper, the revolution
