Read it:

St. Louis, New York and Washington, 1878 to 1991. A Hungarian immigrant buys a bankrupt evening paper at a sheriff's auction and discovers that a newspaper is two products sold at once: news to a crowd, and that crowd to an advertiser. A mining heir with an unlimited allowance buys the same machine and runs it faster. Fifty years later a widow who has never held a job inherits the third one and is told by everyone around her that ownership and authority are different things. Between them lies the whole invention of the American mass audience — what it cost to assemble, what it was sold for, and what happened when its owners decided it carried an obligation. Covers Joseph Pulitzer, William Randolph Hearst, Eugene Meyer, Katharine Graham, Philip Graham, St. Louis Dispatch, Post, San Francisco Examiner, and The Washington Post.
