Citizen Reporters: S.S. McClure, Ida Tarbell, and the Magazine That Rewrote America, Stephanie Gorton
“I’m cheating here slightly: I recently finished this book and wanted to sing its praises.

It’s a fascinating look at America in the late 1800s, corporate culture, and the birth of the magazine industry.”
