Between 1925 and 1951, Kent Cooper revolutionized the Associated Press, transforming it into the world's dominant news agency and revolutionizing the journalism that millions of readers in the United States and other countries relied on. Gene Allen's biography spans the globe, providing a comprehensive account of Cooper's leadership and reshaping of the most important institution in American and eventually international journalism in the mid-twentieth century.
Allen critically assesses the various new approaches and causes that Cooper championed. He introduced celebrity news and colorful features to a service previously known for its stodgy reliability, pushed through disruptive technological innovations such as the instantaneous transmission of news photos, and led a crusade to bring American-style press freedom, inseparable from private ownership, to every country. His insistence on truthfulness and impartiality presents a sharp contrast to much of today's fractured journalistic landscape.
Mr. Associated Press: The Life and Times of Kent Cooper is a deeply researched and engagingly written book that traces Cooper's career as he built a new foundation for the modern AP and shaped the twentieth-century world of news.
