Summary: "[This is] the first detailed history of New Zealand newspapers since Guy Scholefield's Newspapers in New Zealand in 1958, ... a social history that places newspapers and their vital importance to New Zealand's development as a nation in the context of the communities they prospered or failed in. There are detailed descriptions of the beginnings of the newspaper business in New Zealand, the papers that spread throughout the country close behind the first settlers, the daily press's leap of faith, the proliferation of provincial papers, early twentieth century challenges, and the difficulties faced during World War One. ... [There] are also sections on the burgeoning weeklies' phenomenon, the distinctive goldfields' press and the numerous Maori newspapers."--Book flap.
