This article focuses on the book "A History of American Journalism," by James Melvin Lee. Lee has assembled a mass of material of great interest not only to the journalist and historian, but to the general reader as well. He has set forth not only the beginnings of journalism and the story of its progress, but many quaint items, personal anecdotes, and forgotten facts of what remains, despite all its faults, the most fascinating of professions. Particularly valuable is his tracing of the first colonial newspapers, in regard to which there have already arisen myths.
