The Imperial Press: A Critique (1902)

By George French

Book Overview

The Imperial Press: A Critique is a book written by George French and published in 1902. This book is a critique of the press in the British Empire, which at the time was a dominant force in the world. French argues that the press in the Empire is controlled by a small group of wealthy individuals who use it to promote their own interests and to suppress dissenting voices. He also criticizes the sensationalism and lack of accuracy in much of the reporting, which he believes undermines the credibility of the press. French calls for greater freedom and independence for the press, and for more responsible journalism that serves the public interest. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the role of the press in the British Empire at the turn of the 20th century, and it remains relevant today as a critique of media ownership and journalistic ethics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
