Taking Stock Journalism and the Publicly Traded Newspaper Company

Taking Stock: Journalism and the Publicly Traded Newspaper Company examines corporate ownership of newspapers and its affect on newspapers. The development of the publicly-traded newspaper company places responsibility to shareholders on corporate newspaper owners. Tension between journalistic values, corporate values, and responsibilities is presented in this study, which sheds empirical light on the fit between objectives. The study of various aspects of this issue suggests possible remedies, structural and/or legal, for ensuring that operation of newspaper companies reflects the special nature of newspapers in democratic society.Cranberg, Gilbert is the author of 'Taking Stock Journalism and the Publicly Traded Newspaper Company', published 2001 under ISBN 9780813824598 and ISBN 0813824591.
