Book Overview

""Fakes In American Journalism"" is a book written by Max Sherover and published in 1914. The book is a critical examination of the state of American journalism at the time, particularly with regards to the prevalence of fake news and sensationalism.

Throughout the book, Sherover provides examples of instances where newspapers have published false or exaggerated stories and analyzes the reasons behind these journalistic failures. Overall, ""Fakes In American Journalism"" is a thought-provoking critique of the state of journalism in early 20th century America and remains relevant today as fake news continues to be a major issue in modern journalism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
