Sex Trafficking Scandal And The Transformation Of Journalism 18851917

In the 19th century the American newspaper business offered the public a staple diet of sex scandals and murder, sensationalism from cover to cover. Towards the end of the century William T. Stead and George Kibbe Turner launched a series of investigations into global sex trafficking, known as 'white slaving' and helped a new form of journalism emerge into the mainstream: one that placed objectivity ahead of the thrill factor. This book recounts how the newsmen of America came to discover ethics and how the public reacted to being fed facts in place of rumour.
