The Crimes Of The Times: A Test Of Newspaper Decency

The Crimes of the Times: A Test of Newspaper Decency is a book written by Sinclair Upton. The book is a scathing critique of the newspaper industry in America during the early 20th century. Sinclair argues that newspapers are guilty of sensationalizing news stories, promoting propaganda, and manipulating public opinion for their own financial gain. He also accuses newspapers of being complicit in the perpetuation of social and political injustices, such as racism and corruption. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific issue or event, such as the Spanish-American War, the Russo-Japanese War, and the Mexican Revolution. Throughout the book, Sinclair provides examples of how newspapers have distorted the truth and manipulated public opinion to serve their own interests. The Crimes of the Times is a powerful indictment of the newspaper industry and a call to action for readers to demand more ethical and responsible journalism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
