Abstract:
"Journalism has an indelible effect on our worldview - from global terrorism to the American presidential elections, celebrity scandal to the latest environmental disaster. Here, Ian Hargreaves uses his unique position within the media to examine how we get this information, and the practical, political, and professional decisions faced by journalists."--Jacket.
