Author inscription that reads: "This is for the private library of Richard C. Brownlee, for whom I have the highest esteem Frank Luther Mott". The main object of this new revision was to provide a succinct account of the development of journalism in the United States during the decade of the 1950's. Additions to the Bibliographical Notes appended to all the earlier sections have been made; moreover, in an attempt to increase their usefulness by by citing recently published books of acknowledged value. In the new section on the 1950's the author sought to give full recognition to the changes brought about in journalism by the electronic medial and the growth of what was ten called the :mass audience". The author believed these developments were of crucial importance. The author's purpose from the first has been to provide a comprehensive work, in which historical narrative is combining with some of the characteristics of a reference book. Frank Luther Mott (April 4, 1886 – October 23, 1964) was an American academic, historian and journalist, who won the 1939 Pulitzer Prize for History for Volumes II and III of his series, A History of American Magazines.

The New York Daily News, officially titled the Daily News, is an American newspaper based in New York City. Founded in 1919 by Joseph Medill Patterson, as the Illustrated Daily News. It was the first U.S. daily printed in tabloid format, it reached its peak circulation in 1947, at 2.4 million copies a day. As of 2019 it was the eleventh-highest circulated newspaper in the United States. The Daily News was launched on June 26, 1919 as Illustrated Daily News. The Daily News was owned by the Tribune Company until 1993. New York's many subway commuters found the tabloid format easier to handle, and readership steadily grew. By the time of the paper's first anniversary in June 1920, circulation had climbed over 100,000 and by 1925, over a million. The Daily News carried the slogan "New York's Picture Newspaper" from 1920 to 1991, for its emphasis on photographs. A camera has been part of the newspaper's logo from day one. The paper's later slogan, developed from a 1985 ad campaign, is "New York's Hometown Newspaper", while another has been "The Eyes, the Ears, the Honest Voice of New York". The Daily News continues to include large and prominent photographs, for news, entertainment and sports, as well as intense city news coverage, celebrity gossip, classified ads, comics, a sports section, and an opinion section.
