John Calhoun Merrill

Harold A. Fisher

This completely revised and extended updating of John Merrrill's The Elite Press, published over a decade ago, provides a provocative and thoroughly researched look into the characteristics of "great" or "quality" journalism in an international context. The introductory chapters define newspaper "greatness" by describing those journals that are serious, intellectually oriented, cosmopolitan, courageous, impartial, interpretive, reliable, responsible and socially-concerned. Here the authors place newspapers in their political environments, depicting the differences between authoritative and liberatarian press systems.
