Review of The Imperative of Freedom
John C. Merrill. The Imperative of Freedom: A Philosophy of Journalistic Autonomy. Hastings House, Publishers: New York. 1974.

John Merrill's The Imperative of Freedom: A Philosophy of Journalistic Autonomy is a harsh commentary on the loss of individual autonomy in journalism. This book explores the philosophical history and present implications of the institutionalism of journalism.

Content: Part one is an in-depth lesson on philosophy, which is intertwined throughout the book. The Imperative of Freedom is broken into two sections, the first section, which outlines the major philosophies that are relevant to journalism. It is further broken down into 10 chapters, making it highly useful for a college textbook.

The thoroughness of philosophical coverage makes it is an excellent introduction to the relationship between and the necessity of philosophy and journalism. Merrill uses easily understandable and fun language with myriad lists and labels. He also includes several helpful diagrams, which clearly demonstrates the philosophies discussed in the book.
