内容简介

This fascinating volume offers an overview of the most influential and notorious media scandals, from newspaper publisher John Paul Zenger's groundbreaking 1735 trial for 'printing and publishing false, scandalous, malicious and seditious statements' to Dr. Phil McGraw's 2008 thwarted attempt to force his television cameras inside Britney Spears' hospital room. Other topics covered in this title include: D.H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, Salman Rushdie, Walter Winchell, Hedda Hopper, Geraldo Rivera, and Matt Drudge. It delves into the tabloid press and walks through the minefields of political opinion shapers, the shouters, the muckrakers and whistleblowers.
