The news about the news Book

I read this book at a time when I was also reading a lot of newspapers, and also feeling like " what is the point of reading this crap".

The book sets out a good timeline of the demimse of journalism in the United States, paralleling it with the rise in corporate take over of our news companies.

I hope that this book would be more read in the future, as it is a good eye opener, and clear acknowlegement of the affects of the "for profit" era that everyone mine and my parents age has been living through our entire lives.

I have recomended this book to a few folks, and have already given away my own personal copy of it, that was given to me by my favorite professor.
