The Press

Fleet Street's journalists, publishers, and pamphleteers—a power that answers to no faction and fears none. They topple ministries with a headline, ruin reputations before breakfast, and reach every coffee house and tavern in London by morning. Thomas Hazlitt's radical editorials comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, while Sarah Woodward investigates the stories that respectable editors won't touch. Everyone fears what they might print. Everyone should.
