Description

Fenton, a longtime foreign correspondent for CBS News, issues a disgusted indictment of the current state of his profession. Americans, he argues, are receiving less and less coverage of world news and what news they do get is of declining quality. This undermines the ability of Americans to understand and respond to world events that can have a profound impact on their lives and greatly contributes to the disconnect between American perceptions of themselves and the world and the perceptions of the rest of the globe. The problem, he argues, is due to increasing corporate control of the media and the corresponding decline in newsgathering capacity and quality. He concludes with advice for media pressure groups on what they should demand from news organizations and regulators. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Read More
