Förlagets beskrivning
The gripping and definitive in-the-room account of the revolution that has swept the news industry over the last decade and reshaped our world. 'A cracking, essential read ... [Abramson] knows where most of the bodies are buried and is prepared to draw the reader a detailed map' Guardian The last decade has seen the News industry face unprecedented change. The sometimes-century old institutions which were once the bastions of truth and respectability have had their dominance eroded by vast innovations in viral technology and disregard for the long-established standards of news journalism. But behind this big picture lies a much more human drama: one involving deal-making tycoons, thrusting reporters, hard-bitten editors, egomaniacs, bullshitters, provocateurs and bullies, with some surfing and others drowning in the breaking wave of change. Drawing on revelatory access, Abramson takes us behind the scenes at four media titans during the most volatile years in news history. Two are maverick upstarts: BuzzFeed, the brain-child of virtuoso clickbait scientist Jonah Perretti, and VICE, led by the booze-fuelled anarcho-hipster Shane Smith. Two are among the world's most venerable news institutions: The New York Times and The Washington Post. As millennial appetites for puppies and nudity force the industry to choose between cherished principles of objectivity and impartiality, the survivors must confront the horrifying cost of their success: sexual scandal, fake news, the election of President Trump and the shaking of democracy
