The Atlanta Daily Intelligencer Covers the Civil War

Beschreibung

"Investigates how Atlanta's most important newspaper, the Daily Intelligencer, covered the Civil War in its news articles, editorial columns, and related items in its issues of April 1861-April 1865. Authors Stephen Davis and Bill Hendrick show how the Intelligencer reported the war's important events based on the news it received, at what points the paper ... got the facts right or wrong, and how the paper's editorial columns reflected on the war from a distinctly pro-Confederate point of view. While focusing on the Intelligencer, Hendrick and Davis also contribute to the scholarship on Confederate newspapers, emphasizing their role as voices of Confederate patriotism and Southern nationalism and as contributors to wartime public morale"--
