"“An engaging romp, a careful dissection, and a radical indictment of what's wrong with journalism. Smart suggestions for where to find signs of renewal and hope, too. Vintage Toby Miller.” - Silvio R. Waisbord, The George Washington University, USA ""This powerful book is a devastating critique of the failures of Anglo-American journalism. It provides endless examples of the gap between normative accounts of truth-telling and actual practices of stenography, clientilism and complicity with elites. From reporting on everything from food to climate and from sports to war, Miller's polemic situates journalism closer to misinformation than the democratising practice we desperately need it to be."" - - Des Freedman, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK ""From a starting point of “cosmic ambivalence about the news today” Miller and his co-authors take us on a political economic and cultural analytic romp through mainstream journalism’s failures. Questioning its moral and material basis from sports journalism to free speech; weaving philosophical and ideological critique with an analysis of journalistic practice defined by a methodological individualism, nationalism and absolutism – Why Journalism is far more than a polemic but it is a rollicking good read!"" - - Natalie Fenton, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK"
