- Finalist for the AEJMC Tankard Book Award
Allen critically assesses the many new approaches and causes that Cooper championed: introducing celebrity news and colorful features to a service previously known for stodgy reliability, pushing through disruptive technological innovations like the instantaneous transmission of news photos, and leading a crusade to bring American-style press freedominseparable from private ownership, in Cooper’s viewto every country. His insistence on truthfulness and impartiality presents a sharp contrast to much of today’s fractured journalistic landscape.
Deeply researched and engagingly written, Mr. Associated Press traces Cooper’s career as he built a new foundation for the modern AP and shaped the twentieth-century world of news.
