In this provocative book, C. Edwin Baker argues that print advertising seriously distorts the flow of news by creating a powerfully corrupting incentive: the more newspapers depend financially on advertising, the more they favor the interests of advertisers over those of readers. Advertising induces newspapers to compete for a maximum audience with blandly "objective" information, resulting in reduced differentiation among papers and the eventual collapse of competition among dailies. Originally published in 1994. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

"Advertising and a Democratic Press is an essential book for anyone interested in the structural impact of advertising on American newspapers in particular and the American media in general."--Financial Times "Newspapers, Baker insists, operate mainly as businesses, secondarily as businesses, and occasionally--when they're sounding patriotic and devoted to the public interest--as businesses... The main problem ... is that advertising now accounts for some 65 percent of the average daily newspaper's revenue. In such a fix, he believes, advertisers replace readers and editors in determining editorial content."--Carlin Romano, The Philadelphia Inquirer "Baker's central concern is the impact of the media's financial dependence on advertising on the substance and distribution of their nonadvertising content... The real contribution of Baker's work is ... the use of economic analyses to show how an apparent benefit of advertising-the subsidizing of the cost of information to the public-can lead, ironically, to a less free and democratic press."--American Political Science Review
