Description

An urgent account of the revolution that has upended the news business, written by one of the most accomplished journalists of our time

Technology has radically altered the news landscape. Once-powerful newspapers have lost their clout or been purchased by owners with particular agendas. Algorithms select which stories we see. The Internet allows consequential revelations, closely guarded secrets, and dangerous misinformation to spread at the speed of a click.
In Breaking News, Alan Rusbridger demonstrates how these decisive shifts have occurred, and what they mean for the future of democracy. In the twenty years he spent editing The Guardian, Rusbridger managed the transformation of the progressive British daily into the most visited serious English-language newspaper site in the world. He oversaw an extraordinary run of world-shaking scoops, including the exposure of phone hacking by London tabloids, the Wikileaks release of U.S.diplomatic cables, and later the revelation of Edward Snowden's National Security Agency files. At the same time, Rusbridger helped The Guardian become a pioneer in Internet journalism, stressing free access and robust interactions with readers. Here, Rusbridger vividly observes the media's transformation from close range while also offering a vital assessment of the risks and rewards of practicing journalism in a high-impact, high-stress time.

      • premium: True
      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: With his plummy English accent, narrator Samuel West imbues this insider account of the newspaper business with a gravitas that reflects the author's unwavering belief in journalism's role in democracy. As editor in chief of THE GUARDIAN during the 20 years when newspapers were struggling to figure out a business model for the digital age, Rusbridger played a major role in the WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden stories as well as the NEWS OF THE WORLD phone-hacking scandal. West's pace has the listener feeling the adrenaline pumping as the reporters begin breaking important stories, but his measured tone aptly conveys the author's concerns about trying to balance deep research and a 24/7 news cycle. This is required listening for anyone who cares about the future of journalism. L.W.S. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
