Produktbeschreibung
In the spring of 1969, 101 students received master's degrees from Columbia University's prestigious School of Journalism, where they had learned the trade as it was then practiced. Most hoped to start a career in newspapers, radio, television or magazines, the established forms of journalism of that era. Little did they realize how the news world they were entering would be upended by the internet and by the social forces that would sweep through the country over the next 50 years.

This book tells the story of the news media revolution through the eyes of those in the Class of 1969 who lived it and helped make it happen. It is an insider's look at the reshaping of the Fourth Estate and the information Americans now get and don't get-crucial aspects of the vibrancy of democracy.

Rezensionen
"Accurate, independently gathered information is as necessary to our way of government as the right to vote. This book by veteran journalists is the best analysis I've seen of the precarious state of American journalism and the danger that alone poses to our democracy." -Bob Schieffer, CBS News, author of Overload: Finding Truth in the Deluge of News
