Crusaders, scoundrels, journalists

the long version

"Crusaders, Scoundrels, Journalists traces the lives and times of nearly 300 American newspeople, from the Colonial printer who wrote about the sex life of the king of France to the Global Village anchor who as a young man stood up dates in order to listen to Edward R. Murrow." "This entertaining book introduces readers to the inside story of news, as told by journalistic sleuths and sloths, martyrs and moguls. First Amendment heroes and notorious scandalmongers."--BOOK JACKET.
