"Stentor: or, The press of to-day and to-morrow" by David Ockham is a critical examination of the role and influence of the press, written in the late 1920s. This book can be categorized as a socio-political commentary or critique that explores the evolution and implications of journalism and media in the context of society. It discusses the transformation of newspapers from mere information sources to instruments designed to manipulate public opinion, emphasizing the consolidation of press ownership and the resultant impact on democracy and free speech. In "Stentor," Ockham delves into the historical evolution of the newspaper, tracing its roots back thousands of years and highlighting its significance in shaping public discourse. He argues that the press, dominated by a handful of powerful figures, often prioritizes sensationalism and profit over integrity and truth. The author critiques the tendency of modern journalism to cater to mass preferences for superficial content at the expense of deeper, substantive reporting. Through various chapters, Ockham addresses the perils of "Trustification," where large media combines increasingly control public opinion, ultimately raising concerns about the impact on democracy and the ethical responsibilities of the press. The book presents a call for a rejuvenation of independent journalism as a necessary counter to the monopolistic tendencies of the modern press landscape.
