Download or read book Copper Chorus written by Dennis L. Swibold and published by Montana Historical Society. This book was released on 2006 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book devoted to Montana's long history of industrial newspaper ownership and the consequences for democracy. The work also reveals the costs paid by owners and their journalists, whose credibility eroded as their increasingly constricted newspapers lapsed into ambivalence and indifference. The story offers a timeless study of the conflict between commerce and the notion of a free and independent press.
