A collection of articles from late 19th to the late 20th centuries that criticize the press and offer different perspectives on many of the issues that are still relevant to the press today: how the concentration of media ownership denies access to the public, how the media inadequately police themselves, how reporters could be better trained, how bias in reportage may be unavoidable, how the press sensationalizes on the one hand and censors itself on the other, and other issues.
