The US: Social Contradictions Also Seen in Newsrooms

Abstract

Journalism in the US was born in the 1700s when the young ‘America’ was still a colony under British rule. The fledgling profession has evolved from those early days as a political press agitating for independence to the burgeoning, complex profit-making industry it is today. Along the way, newsmaking enterprises diversified in terms of formats and genres, some aiming toward a more popular audience, others toward an elite audience. Technological developments enabled mass-produced newspapers and news magazines by the late 1800s, and the advent of the telegraph and electricity became the infrastructure for what would become radio and TV by the early to mid-20th century. All of these baby steps are hard to appreciate in our current landscape of digital communication where media formats are converged electronically and the availability of information seems an endless sea.
