Millionaires And Grub Street: Comrades And Contacts In The Last Half Century (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432580087)

Millionaires and Grub Street: Comrades and Contacts in the Last Half Century is a non-fiction book written by James Howard Bridge. The book explores the relationship between the wealthy elite and the world of journalism and literature in the last 50 years. Bridge delves into the ways in which the rich and famous have used their wealth and influence to shape the media landscape and how journalists and writers have responded to these pressures.The book is divided into chapters that focus on different aspects of this relationship, from the role of publishers and editors in shaping the content of newspapers and magazines to the influence of wealthy patrons on the world of literature. Bridge also examines the ways in which journalists and writers have used their own connections to the rich and famous to advance their careers and gain access to exclusive stories.Throughout the book, Bridge draws on a wealth of historical examples and contemporary case studies to illustrate his points. He discusses the rise of celebrity journalism, the impact of social media on the media landscape, and the changing nature of the relationship between journalists and their sources.Overall, Millionaires and Grub Street is a fascinating exploration of the complex and often fraught relationship between wealth, power, and the world of journalism and literature. It offers insights into the ways in which these two worlds intersect and influence each other, and provides a thought-provoking analysis of the challenges faced by journalists and writers in an increasingly commercialized and celebrity-driven media landscape.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
