The Wayward Pressman

by A. J. Liebling

This volume compiles essays that examine the news industry and the role of newspapers. The pieces were first published in The New Yorker during the 1940s. Together they offer a historical perspective on journalism practices of that decade. The essays reflect on editorial decisions, circulation challenges, and the evolving relationship between media and society.
