The present volume, the first in the series, begins with the earliest printing in the American colonies and takes the story through the Revolutionary War. As subsequent volumes will do, it focuses on the nature of journalism during the years surveyed, chronicles noteworthy figures, examines the relationship of journalism to society, and provides explanations for the main directions that journalism was taking. The remaining five volumes will complete The History of American Journalism in chronological order and are scheduled to appear over the next five years.
