A partisan press is one that concentrates on advancing a particular ideological or partisan viewpoint.The American media,with few exceptions,no longer follows this pattern,although some European newspapers still do so.At one time,the American press was quite partisan.This situation changed with technological innovations such as the telegraph and rotary printing press,which changed the economics of American newspapers.Partly as a reaction against the excesses of yellow journalism,newspapers turned to the objective model of reporting,which concentrates on objective reporting of facts and reports on differing sides of controversial issues.They accomplished this in part by a direct company policy focus on objective reporting and a new focus on the professional ethics of objective journalism by journalism schools.
