Abstract
A well-known Associated Press reporter and an early contributor to Paramount newsreels prior to joining the White House, Early understood the power of images and the press to build and sustain public support. Author Linda Levin, a journalism professor and department chair at the University of Rhode Island, has carefully documented her work about Early and provides context, caveats, and a range of sources throughout the book, which was a challenging task because most of her subjects died decades ago.
