On the American stages of politics and journalism in the mid-nineteenth century, few men were more influential than Abraham Lincoln and his sometime adversary, sometime ally, New York Tribune editor Horace Greeley. In this compelling new volume, author Gregory A. Borchard explores the intricate relationship between these two vibrant figures, both titans of the press during one of the most tumultuous political eras in American history. Packed with insightful analysis and painstaking research, Abraham Lincoln and Horace Greeley offers a fresh perspective on these luminaries and their legacies. Borchard begins with an overview of the lives of both Lincoln and Greeley, delving particularly into their mutual belief in Henry Clay's much-debated American System, and investigating the myriad similarities between the two political giants, including their comparable paths to power and their statuses as self-made men, their reputations as committed reformers, and their shared dedication to social order and developing a national infrastructure. Also detailed are Lincoln's and Greeley's personal quests to end slavery in the United States, as well as their staunch support of free-soil homesteads in the West.Yet despite their ability to work together productively, both men periodically found themselves on opposite ends of the political spectrum. Their by turns harmonious and antagonistic relationship often played out on the front pages of Greeleys influential newspaper, the New York Tribune. Drawing upon historical gems from the Tribune, as well as the personal papers of both Lincoln and Greeley, Borchard explores in depth the impact the two men had on their times and on each other, and how, as Lincoln's and Greeley's paths often crossed and sometimes diverged they personified the complexities, virtues, contradictions, and faults of their eras.Abraham Lincoln and Horace Greeley goes beyond tracing each mans personal and political evolution to offer a new perspective on the history-changing events of the times, including the decline of the Whig Party and the rise of the Republicans, the drive to extend American borders into the West; and the bloody years of the Civil War. Borchard finishes with reflections on the deaths of Lincoln and Greeley and how the two men have been remembered by subsequent generations.Sure to become an essential volume in the annals of political history and journalism, Abraham Lincoln and Horace Greeley is a compelling testament to the indelible mark these men left on both their contemporaries and the face of America's future.

Given the highly globalized and converged sets of communication technologies in the contemporary media landscape, information consumers—all of us—can begin to understand the complexity of interpreting daily news. Providing an overview of American media, press, and journalism, and the events, institutions, and people related to its development, this book helps readers develop perspective on contemporary media by using its development for reference. Along with an array of supplemental materials, readers will find tools used by both reporters and historians to understand the present through the past, allowing readers to use the history of journalism as a lens for their own storytelling, reporting, and critical analysis skills. While focusing on American news, the book also features international media other than print newspapers alone. It integrates public relations, advertising, broadcast, and the Internet into a story of the press that builds a singular narrative for a general audience."This book tells the story of a nation that decided in its founding that two things had to be foundational for the country and its primary institutions to last: one was that it should have newspapers; and the other was that those newspapers would be free and independent to publish as they pleased. This has not always been a harmonious relationship… nevertheless, it is the basis of the American system, and the press is the only profession directly mentioned in the Bill of Rights. Perhaps as important is the fact that culturally the United States has had a built-in dependency on news from its founding. Thus, it is through this lens that the whole panorama of American mass media must be viewed, which Borchard and Yotova have done here."– David W. Bulla, Augusta University, Georgia"A refreshing update on traditional media history texts, Pressing Matters takes a new approach by highlighting the influential people and events that comprise that history—from Colonial-era printers who first pursued values of free press and free speech to the partisans, publishers, populists, muckrakers, and innovators who built a powerful press and thus a nation. Students will discover in this book engaging, accessible content that smoothly connects the history of the press with their own, media-saturated world."– Katrina Jesick Quinn, Slippery Rock University, Pennsylvania"In this thorough and thoughtful study of journalism in the United States, Borchard and Yotova use social, cultural, and political analyses to explore a broad range of significant issues over the course of US history. Offering much to ponder and debate, this book provides a crucial context for understanding the freedom of the press."– Orville Vernon Burton, author of Justice Deferred: Race and the Supreme Court and Age of Lincoln
