| Summary | "The Evening Post: A Century of Journalism" by Allan Nevins is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book examines the rich history of one of America's significant newspapers, the Evening Post, from its founding in the early 1800s through its role in shaping journalism and public opinion in the United States. It delves into the political landscape of the time, illustrating how the newspaper navigated a turbulent period in American history while focusing on issues such as Federalism and Democracy. The opening of the text establishes the Evening Post’s origins, noting that it was founded in 1801 by Alexander Hamilton and his political allies during a time of upheaval for the Federalist Party. As the country shifted politically with Jefferson's ascent, Hamilton and his companions recognized the need for a newspaper to articulate their views and maintain party influence as Democratic forces gained momentum. The text outlines the early struggles of the Evening Post to gain footing amidst competing publications and explains Hamilton's vital role in its establishment, showcasing how the newspaper aimed to counteract the narratives of its political opponents while engaging with the social issues of the time.
