The People’s Paper: The Rise and Fall of the Daily News Book Event with Author Matthew Pressman In Conversation with Jeff Jarvis

About this event

When the New York Daily News launched in 1919, it didn’t just sell papers — it reinvented them. Brash and populist, the United States’ first tabloid quickly became the country’s best-selling newspaper and reshaped the way Americans consumed news. Drawing on never-before cited documents and exclusive interviews, The People’s Paper tells the story of the rise and fall of the Daily News and links its story to the current political and media environment. Matthew Pressman is an associate professor of journalism at Seton Hall University. He is the author of On Press: The Liberal Values That Shaped the News, and previously worked at Vanity Fair, where he was an assistant editor and online columnist. Jeff Jarvis is a journalist and author who has worked at many publications (including the New York Daily News) and was the founding editor of Entertainment Weekly. His most recent book is Hot Type: The Magnificent Machine That Gave Birth to Mass Media and Drove Mark Twain Mad.
