America's Last Great Newspaper War: The Death of Print in a Two-Tabloid Town

Recounts the story of America’s last great newspaper war between the New York Daily News and the New York Post, as both papers’ long rivalry turned existential amid the rise of digital news. The story is told through the eyes of the reporters, or “runners,” and photographers who fought the war on the ground in cities across America.

This book captures an important moment in history. One in five local U.S. newspapers has shuttered since 2004; a total of 1,800 newspapers. This book describes, in a dramatic and human fashion, how the “death of print journalism” played out in one city in America, as both the News and Post battled to survive.
