Book Review: America’s Battle for Democracy: The Triumph of Corporate Libertarianism and the Future of Media Reform

The final part turns to journalism as an institution, and the chapters in this section take a longer view of events, with strong reflections on the relationship between American legacies (such as the Gettysburg address) and changing journalistic cultures. Too often, edited volumes bring together overly disparate (or sometimes repetitive) pieces of writing, with a select few chapters serving the interests of different readers. That is not the case here; instead, helped by a strong introduction and epilogue, the chapters build on, reference and speak to one another to create a cohesive and enriching read, meaning that the book will work well for any postgraduate course of study on memory and will prove especially fascinating to scholars engaging with the media’s interaction with memory. This is not the definitive tome on journalism’s memory work, and nor could it be, as there is still too much research to be done in the area. There will undoubtedly be readers for whom the book does not focus sufficiently on either journalism or memory, but by bringing these two seemingly unrelated themes together, Journalism and Memory achieves its aim admirably: to provoke new and exciting ways of thinking about the overlooked relationship between the two.
