| Summary | "The American Newspaper" by Charles Dudley Warner is a critical exploration of the American newspaper's role in society, written in the late 19th century. The book serves as a philosophical and practical examination of journalism, focusing on its impact on public education and civic responsibility. Warner delves into the complexities of newspapers as private enterprises driven by profit, while also considering their ethical obligations to serve the public good. In this work, Warner discusses various aspects of newspapers, including their functions of collecting and disseminating news, shaping public opinion, and providing reading material. He critiques the reliance on sensationalism and trivial local news, arguing that this undermines the intellectual engagement of the readership. Warner highlights the challenges faced by journalists in balancing the demands of subscribers and advertisers while maintaining editorial integrity. Ultimately, he advocates for a more discerning and responsible approach to journalism, emphasizing the power of the press as a means of informing and educating the public rather than merely catering to their base interests.
