The press in the United States evolved through a long history of freedom and openness, and it operated at the beginning of the twenty-first century within one of the richest and most powerful societies in the world.
The U. S. public is one of the most literate in the world, with a literacy rate reaching 97 percent. The United States consumes massive amounts of media in all forms—newspapers and magazines, radio and television, and film documentaries.
The general trend of the United States press over most of the twentieth century was toward consolidation, chain or corporate ownership, and newspaper monopolies in most towns and cities.
