内容简介
American journalism is collapsing as newspapers and
magazines fail and scores of reporters are laid off across the
country. Conventional wisdom says the Internet is to blame, but
veteran journalists and media critics Robert W. McChesney and John
Nichols disagree. The crisis of American journalism predates the
Great Recession and digital media boom. What we are witnessing now
is the end of the commercial news model and the opportune moment
for the creation of a new system of independent journalism, one
subsidized by the public and capable of safeguarding our
democracy.
