Rezensionen

"I recommend it be read. Faculty teaching an international media course or a politics and media course would find it beneficial. It also can serve as an important reminder to aspiring journalists in the United States and other Western democratic nations that doing independent journalism is dangerous in many nations." (Anthony Moretti, JMC Quarterly - Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, Vol. 93 (1), 2016)
