註釋Stoler, a senior correspondent for Time magazine, gives an account of the pressures journalists work under. He presents a history of journalism from the late 17th century to the end of World War II,and gives particular attention to important recent coverage: Vietnam, Watergate, the Iran hostage crisis, terrorism, and the Westmoreland and Sharon libel suits. The alleged "liberal bias" of the press, as well as a Gallup Organization in-depth study of the media are also examined. According to Stoler, the foes of the press are formidable and the press needs to realize that the right to know is limited by law and common sense, that people's privacy should be respected, and that there is a demarcation between news and entertainment. He concludes that the press should not be intimidated but should solicit public support for a free press. ISBN 0-396-08757-4: $17.95.
