The Big Picture (eBook, PDF)

Why Democracies Need Journalistic Excellence

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

A press in crisis is a democracy endangered, argues Jeffrey Scheuer - cultural critic and author of The Sound Bite Society. In The Big Picture, Scheuer argues that in order for a democracy to thrive it is not enough for its press simply to be free - the press must be exceptional. This book explores journalistic excellence and its essential relationship with democracy, explaining why democracies depend on it and are only as good as their journalism. In lucid and accessible prose, The Big Picture provocatively demonstrates why we must all be vigilant about the quality of journalism today.
