La liberté de la presse a ceci de commun avec la République qu’elle est aujourd’hui défendue même par les forces politiques qui ont le plus férocement ferraillé contre elle dans un passé pas si lointain. Les avocats de la critique de la presse, eux, sont beaucoup moins nombreux. Passe encore de flétrir l’autoritarisme d’un magnat tout-puissant. Mais au-delà ? Suggérer qu’il n’y aura pas de liberté de la presse tant que les médias sont accaparés par une minorité fortunée suscitera des regards suspicieux : complotisme ?...À l’heure des amalgames faciles, rappeler que la lutte pour la liberté de la presse a aussi remis en cause, parfois avec fracas, le pouvoir de ses propriétaires, n’est pas inutile. Car à trop attribuer aux seuls libéraux les acquis de ce combat, on en oublierait presque que ce dernier avait aussi partie liée avec la lutte des classes. Contre la « presse bourgeoise » possédée par ceux qui cherchent à s’enrichir encore davantage, des intellectuels, des journalistes, des hommes politiques, des syndicalistes et une infinité de militants anonymes ont écrit, débattu, fait grève, imaginé des manières plus démocratiques de produire de l’information.La concentration actuelle des grands médias entre les mains d’une poignée de grandes fortunes suffit à évaluer les limites de leurs mobilisations. Mais ces dernières n’en ont pas moins marqué l’histoire de la presse, en menant sur le terrain économique un combat loin d’être terminé.

"This book explains how six isolationist media barons in the United States and Great Britain shaped the political culture of their respective nations on the eve of and during World War II. Together, William Randolph Hearst's newspaper chain, Lord Rothermere's Daily Mail, Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express, Robert McCormick's Chicago Tribune, Joe Patterson's New York Daily News, and Cissy Patterson's Washington Times-Herald reached a staggering sixty million people by the late 1930s, and even more during the war that followed. Often dismissed by historians and foreign policy scholars because of their sensationalist, tabloid treatment of the news, these media lords and their newspapers had massive influence on public opinion at a critical time in world history. As Hitler built up his military and invaded his neighbors, these press lords worked together to pressure their governments to dismiss and ignore the fascist threat. They met the greatest crisis of the twentieth century not by urging collective action against tyranny but by spinning conspiracy theories, warning of race suicide, or even embracing fascism. They imagined a white nation and then constructed its enemies-not the Nazis, or even the Japanese, but the "warmongers" among their fellow citizens who wanted to resist rather than appease the aggressors. As they fought against resistance to fascism, they helped lay the foundation for the nationalist, racist, and anti-Semitic Right that we live with today"--

Around the world, there are increasing concerns about the accuracy of media coverage. It is vital in representative democracies that citizens have access to reliable information about what is happening in government policy, so that they can form meaningful preferences and hold politicians accountable. Yet much research and conventional wisdom questions whether the necessary information is available, consumed, and understood. This study is the first large-scale empirical investigation into the frequency and reliability of media coverage in five policy domains, and it provides tools that can be exported to other areas, in the US and elsewhere. Examining decades of government spending, media coverage, and public opinion in the US, this book assesses the accuracy of media coverage, and measures its direct impact on citizens' preferences for policy. This innovative study has far-reaching implications for those studying and teaching politics as well as for reporters and citizens
