From Politics to Profit: The Commercialization of Canadian Daily Newspapers, 1890-1920
|
| Abstract |
Includes information on the role Hugh Graham, publisher of the Montreal Daily Star, played in transforming the function of newspapers in English Canada. The author describes how, in the drive to maximize profits, newspaper publishers abandoned patrician politics and adopted sensationalistic journalism to build audiences for advertisers. He analyses the changes newspapers underwent in both content and appearance as the number of "fluff" pieces increased and hard news stories decreased, headlines became larger, prose became simpler, and illustrations and photographs became more abundant.
