Publisher's Synopsis
Interest groups, whether noble or not, prepackage faux-news from skewed points of view. Governments bypass reporters to go straight to the public. Guesswork and lies stand unchecked and unchallenged. This is cheaper than sending reporters to where real news happens. In an invaluable, succinct and compulsively readable primer, legendary foreign correspondent informs and inspires journalists and readers on reporting beyond borders and how to keep track of what's really going on in the world.
