Reviews
Carlson's book is a must-read for people trying to understand what direction journalism should take in redefining itself in the face of rising threats - technological, economic, political, and otherwise. Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly Carlson offers an interesting, well-written, and lucid cultural analysis of the 'unique risks and rewards' that occur 'from the bargain struck' between reporters and confidential sources. Journalism Matt Carlson addresses an interesting issue in journalism: the use of confidential sources in several recent episodes. He has scoured the public record for what is known about the cases and for the public discussion generated by them. This book serves an important purpose by aggregating and putting in one place these recent cases. Elliott King, author of Free for All: The Internet's Transformation of Journalism
