Synopsis"Stop the presses!" You've heard newspaper editors shout that phrase in old movies. Joseph Farah was never a newspaper editor in the movies he was one in real life. But he no longer works with ink, presses and newsprint. A decade ago, Farah founded WorldNetDaily.com (WND.com) and became a pioneer on the New Media frontier. Today WND.com is the largest independent news service on the Internet. "Stop the Presses!" is not just Farahs story, but that of a new wave of media superstars who have forever changed the way Americans get their news and express their views. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Matt Drudgethese are just some of the New Media names that old-school media like ABC News has acknowledged "rule our world." This revolution has shaken the foundations of the mainstream media, eroding its ability to control the flow of information...and with it, the power to control the lives of millions around the world. The New Media revolution's beginnings have never been told - until now., Stop the presses You've heard newspaper editors shout that phrase in old movies. Joseph Farah was never a newspaper editor in the movies - he was one in real life. But he no longer works with ink, presses and newsprint. Fourteen years ago, Farah founded WorldNetDaily.com (WND.com) and became a pioneer on the New Media frontier. Today WND.com is the largest independent news service on the Internet.

This revolution has shaken the foundations of the mainstream media, eroding its ability to control the flow of information... and with it, the power to control the lives of millions around the world. The New Media revolution's beginnings have never been told - until now., Joseph Pulitzer once said, "Our republic and its press will rise and fall together." And, as Joseph Farah points out, they have already begun the nosedive: The press has abandoned its noble post of keeping business and government in check, causing injury to the social, moral, spiritual, and intellectual values of our nation. Supported by the unique insight of an experienced newsman, this book reveals how the press has permitted itself to become captive to a political and social agenda and, perhaps worst of all, has become an advocate of bigger and more intrusive government in the lives of all Americans. By exploring the history of the free press and its relationships with free societies (especially in America), Farah identifies the fundamental problems of today's press while pointing the way toward a reinvigorated free press and society.
