In approaching Shaw's journalism, the promoter and abuser of the New Journalism, W. T. Stead, is contrasted to Shaw, as Shaw countered the sensational news copy Stead and his disciples generated. To understand Shaw's brand of New Journalism, his responses to the popular press? portrayals of high profile historical crises are examined, while other examples prompting Shaw's journalism over the period are cited for depth: the 1888 Whitechapel murders, the 1890-91 O'Shea divorce scandal that fell Charles Stewart Parnell, peace crusades within militarism, the catastrophic Titanic sinking, and the Great War. Through Shaw's journalism that undermined the popular press' shock efforts that prevented rational thought, Shaw endeavored to promote clear thinking through the immediacy of his critical journalism. Arguably, Shaw saved the free press. 600 10 $a Shaw, Bernard, $d 1856-1950 $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Journalism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85070736 830 0 $a Bernard Shaw and his contemporaries. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2017025002 941 $a 2 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20181010010930.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180110020945.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=698F301EF5D411E7B33F7C0497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
