Misinforming a Nation (1917)

Misinforming A Nation is a book written by Willard Huntington Wright and published in 1917. The book is a scathing critique of the American media and the role it played in shaping public opinion during the early 20th century. Wright argues that the media, particularly newspapers, were more concerned with sensationalism and profit than with informing the public. He accuses the media of deliberately misinforming the American people on a range of issues, including politics, economics, and social issues. Wright also highlights the dangers of a media that is not held accountable for its actions and calls for greater regulation and responsibility. The book is a fascinating historical document that sheds light on the early days of American journalism and the challenges faced by those who sought to inform the public in an era of rampant sensationalism and misinformation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
