"In Partisan Journalism: A History of Media Bias in the United States Jim A. Kuypers
guides readers on a journey through American journalistic history, focusing on the
warring notions of objectivity and partisanship. Kuypers shows how the American journalistic
tradition grew from partisan roots and, with only a brief period of objectivity in
between, has returned to those roots today. Kuypers begins with an overview of newspapers
during Colonial times, explaining how those papers openly operated in an expressly
partisan way; he then moves through the Jacksonian era's expansion of both the press
and its partisan nature. After detailing the role of the press during the War Between
the States, Kuypers demonstrates that it was the telegraph, not professional sentiment,
that kicked off the movement toward objective news reporting. The conflict between
partisanship and professionalization/objectivity continued through the muckraking
years and through World War II, with newspapers in the 1950s often being objective
in their reporting even as their editorials leaned to the right. This changed rapidly
in the 1960s when newspaper editorials shifted from right to left, and progressive
advocacy began to slowly erode objective content. Kuypers follows this trend through
the early 1980s, and then turns his attention to demonstrating how new communication
technologies have changed the very nature of news writing and delivery. In the final
chapters covering the Bush and Obama presidencies, he traces the growth of the progressive
and partisan nature of the mainstream news, while at the same time explores the rapid
rise of alternative news sources, some partisan, some objective, that are challenging
the dominance of the mainstream press." -- Publisher's description
