reviewed Everything Was Better in America: Print Culture in the Great Depression on January 13, 2005 Everything Was Better in America: Print Culture in the Great Depression
War at the Wall Street Journal takes the reader inside one of the more unusual takeovers in corporate finance. Any story involving Rupert Murdoch is usually a good one whether you consider him the greatest villain the world has ever known or the shining beacon of journalistic truth there is little doubt that when he is involved you are in for an interesting story. On the other side you have the Bancroft family who are the long term owners of the Dow Jones Company whose crown jewel was the Wall Street Journal. For those who are interested in the transformation that made the Wall Street journal what it is today from the Bancroft's languishing attention to the editorial changes that Rupert Murdoch put in place to the hold out editors on the newsroom floor. This book paints a complete picture of the Journal and Ellison is a quick read with easy to follow story lines in a complex web of corporate takeovers. Well worth the time and fun to read.
