Can You Trust the Media ?

Zusatztext ‘In this accessible, jauntily written book, Monck ends up certain that we need journalism, but sees it, with affection and exasperation, as a flawed thing, which, when it does good, does so by accident.’ Informationen zum Autor Adrian Monck is Professor of Journalism at City University and an award-winning journalist who has worked with CBS News, ITN and Sky News, and helped found Five News. He was President of the Media Society 2005-06. Mike Hanley is a writer and journalist. He has written for Reuters, the Economist and the Financial Times, and many other titles. Klappentext The media dominates our lives. We give more time to viewing, surfing, listening and reading than we do to our families and friends. It's a relationship that's built on trust - and it's a relationship in crisis. This book looks at the forces that have shaped the news, and those that are remaking it.
