How did a nation with less than 5% of the world's population come to publish over half of all the newspapers? This week Author Alex Wright discusses his new book, Empire of Ink: The Printers, Rogues, and Radicals Who Invented the American Newspaper. Wright takes us on a journey through the explosive, footloose growth of 19th-century American print media.
