About This Book

Why Journalism Matters for Democracy

Press and Power makes a clear, timely case for journalism as a democratic necessity. Quentin P. Yarrow explains how reporting helps citizens make informed choices, check power, and understand the public world they share.

In a media-saturated environment, the book shows how to tell journalism apart from entertainment, advocacy, and public relations. It emphasizes the discipline of verified reporting, the importance of context, and why balance is not the same as truth.

Readers will also see how investigative journalism supports accountability by following money, influence, and hidden decision-making.

Inside, you’ll learn:

  • Why self-government depends on reliable information
  • What journalism is supposed to do
  • How the press checks power
  • How to evaluate news more critically
  • Accessible, thoughtful, and practical, this book is for students and civic-minded readers who want a stronger understanding of the free press and its role in public life.
