The Brass Check A Study of American Journalism Upton Sinclair Introduction by Robert W. McChesney and Ben Scott In this systematic critique of the structural basis of U.S. mediaarguably the first one ever publishedUpton Sinclair writes that "American journalism is a class institution serving the rich and spurning the poor." Likening journalists to prostitutes, the title of the book refers to a chit that was issued to patrons of urban brothels of the era. Fueled by mounting disdain for newspapers run by business tycoons and conservative editors, Sinclair self-published The Brass Check in the years after The Jungle had made him a household name. Despite Sinclair's claim that this was his most important book, it was dismissed by critics and shunned by reviewers. Yet it sold over 150,000 copies and enjoyed numerous printings. A substantial introduction to this paperback edition by Robert W. McChesney and Ben Scott asserts the book's importance as a cornerstone critique of commercial journalism and a priceless resource for understanding the political turbulence of the Progressive Era. Upton Sinclair (1878-1968) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and social reformer who exposed the horrors of the Chicago meat-packing industry in The Jungle and revealed his socialist beliefs in such works as Metropolis

Upton Sinclair (1878-1968) The Jungle The publication of Sinclair's novel which told the story of a poor Lithuanian immigrant working in the stockyards of Chicago led to the passage of both the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act in 1906. Despite the passage of these acts, Sinclair's novel continues to convince many of its readers to become vegetarians. In the fall of 1904 in preparation for the writing of The Jungle , Sinclair visited Chicago to observe the slaughterhouses and meat factories. His work reflects the brutally unsanitary conditions that he witnessed. Sources: Bloodworth, William A. " Upton Sinclair ." Dictionary of Literary Biography, Volume 9: American Novelists, 1910-1945 .
