Here is a new, sweeping narrative history of American news media that puts race at the center of the story. From the earliest colonial newspapers to the internet age, America's racial divisions have played a central role in the creation of the country's media system, just as the media has contributed to - and every so often, combated - racial oppression. News for All the People reveals how racial segregation distorted the information Americans received from the mainstream media. It unearths numerous examples of how publishers and broadcasters actually fomented racial violence and discrimination through their coverage. And it chronicles the influence federal media policies exerted in such conflicts. It depicts the struggle of Black, Latino, Asian, and Native American journalists who fought to create a vibrant yet little-known alternative, democratic press, and then, beginning in the 1970s, forced open the doors of the major media companies.

The writing is fast-paced, story-driven, and replete with memorable portraits of individual journalists and media executives, both famous and obscure, heroes and villains. It weaves back and forth between the corporate and government leaders who built our segregated media system - such as Herbert Hoover, whose Federal Radio Commission eagerly awarded a license to a notorious Ku Klux Klan organization in the nation's capital - and those who rebelled against that system, like Pittsburgh Courier publisher Robert L. Vann, who led a remarkable national campaign to get the blackface comedy Amos 'n' Andy off the air.

Based on years of original archival research and up-to-the-minute reporting and written by two veteran journalists and leading advocates for a more inclusive and democratic media system, News for All the People should become the standard history of American media.

Eye and ear opening (nose, too - something stinks in USA)
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2011

What a revelation! This is a monumental work which pulverizes our knowledge of American history, especially with regard to minority groups. Newspapers, radio and television outlets were (and are) systematically marginalized, ignored, bought out and even burned (our major news sources report such things only rarely, usually as some South American dictator's rampage). But very early on Native Americans had newspapers. So did Mexicans, and Chinese papers were published in California even before the first one in China. But these alternate takes on local and world events were suppressed, even to the point that local post offices destroyed the papers rather than deliver them to addressees, a wide-spread practice.

The struggle goes on today with mergers, news rooms with fewer and fewer minorities, fewer reporters actually investigating corruption. The FCC's political shenanigans are also exposed.

A recent study revealed that one who never watches or reads news is more apt to know what is
going on in the world than one who listens to Fox "news" - this book explains why in a scholarly, well researched and engaging style ...

A truly exceptional book.

Should be required reading

In these days of political turmoil about race relations, immigration, voting rights and economic disparity, this book should be required reading in junior highs & high schools. Definitely, it should be studied by all journalists and those studying to be journalists.
There is a lot to be said for the opinion that "the media" controls public/private attitudes about such matters, and the persons who control the news we hear and read could use a little attack of conscience about the way reporting is done.
Being true to our national ideals means remembering that all people are created equal and should be treated with respect and shown that they are welcome. "The media" is not true to our national ideals anymore, and probably never was. This book is an informative reminder.

A Story Still Being Told
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2012

This is a fine, well-researched book on the difficult history of minority groups and the evolving news media. Much of the history outlined here is not common knowledge. It stands as a testament to the many people who had difficulty getting their voices heard and the hard work it took to overcome many obstacles. Sadly, with so-called "new media" evolving today, the voices of minorities still are muted. But there is hope that new media pioneers will be inspired by the stories related here to keep pushing forward and find ways to let all of America's voices be heard.

Needed it for school and was surprised at how much I learned they really do a good job at teaching the different ways different races interacted with each other and how historically oppressed people groups were treated by white people.
