520    Hilaire Belloc, a great English essayist of the 20th 
       century, takes an uncompromising look at the forces 
       working against the freedom of the press. Targeting 
       financial and political influences, along with the 
       influence of advertising, Belloc exposes the powers and 
       motives responsible for the suppression of news and the 
       manufacturing of opinion. Neither pie-in-the-sky idealism 
       nor an irrational conspiracy theory, The Free Press is a 
       rationally argued essay explaining the origins of those 
       influences and factors that make the press less than what 
       it should be honest: fair, and independent. This is a 
       topical work written almost a century ago. Times have 
       changed, but the situation has gone from bad to worse, and
       thus this work is even more relevant today. This book will
       be of interest to anyone, particularly the student of 
       journalism and its history, who is curious about the rise 
       of the major papers and media networks, and about the 
       forces both overt and semi-covert working to shape what is
       reported and which opinions are sanctioned.
