Newspaperman is the story of a man whose goal was to own more newspapers than anyone else, whose concern was not for the editorial product but for the bottom line. This is also the story of the course of American journalism in the twentieth century, for New-house's philosophy of newspapering and his subsequent rise to the top had a significant influence on the development of our modem newspaper industry—and his legacy has already proved to be an enduring one.
