"Baldasty recounts behind-the-scenes family intrigues and conflicts
over ownership in this detailed, well-researched book."--Vanessa
Bush, Booklist
"Baldasty has written the type of book we all like to cite as a
good example to our students."--Donald L. Shaw, American
Historical Review
"A fascinating contribution to the history of newspaper
publishing."--Christine Shaw, Business History
"Highly readable at the same time that it is carefully based on the
evidence. Baldasty is nearly invisible as an analyst and
interpreter; yet the presentation of the evidence and organization
of the book represent his behind-the-scenes analysis. . . . An
important example of a well done business history of the press that
sticks to business."--Carolyn Stewart Dyer, Journalism
History
"This book's main strength is its rich data on newspaper content in
the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. . . . Well
written and meticulously documented, and it generously offers
prominent citations of the work of other, often younger, scholars.
It is a most welcome addition to the literature."--William S.
Solomon, Journal of American History
"Baldasty has expertly woven Scripps' newly available business
correspondence into an illuminating look at this major and
contradictory figure in the development of today's
newspaper."--Anne Hecker, Journal of the West
"Fascinating. . . . Baldasty successfully achieves his goal of
'raising' the low profile of E. W. Scripps."--Louis
Cain, Journal of Economic History
