"Written by one of the most influential men of his times and one of the greatest journalists in history" it says on the blub. I'm a fan, but have to say that I haven't re-read it for some years. Just getting into it again now and I thought this would be a good chance to see if the blog format works in any way. Just skimming the text over in a few minutes, I saw that some of the things Lippmann says are the ultimate source of some of the things I seem to find myself spouting about regarding the actions of the press. How current is he? What is he actually saying? Is it still relevant?
What has Lippmann to say in 1922 which I can still use to help me understand what I read and hear in the press at the moment? Is presumably my starting point.
