Publisher's Synopsis
How do we know any more what is true and what isn't? We are living through the greatest communication revolution since Gutenberg in which falsehood regularly seems to overwhelm truth. In 'Breaking News', Alan Rusbridger offers an urgent and agenda-setting examination of the past, present and future of the press and the forces menacing its freedom. The news media have been disrupted by huge and fast-moving changes in the economic and technological models of information. The growth of social media has changed journalism for ever as well as creating an existential threat to traditional players.
