Inside the Upheaval of Journalism

“Accurate, independently gathered information is as necessary to our way of government as the right to vote. This book by veteran journalists is the best analysis I’ve seen of the precarious state of American journalism and the danger that alone poses to our democracy.” —Bob Schieffer, CBS News, author of Overload: Finding Truth in the Deluge of News
“For a journalist like myself, on the road for 50 years, Inside the Upheaval of Journalism is a walk down memory lane, recalling, in some cases, the hard road both Blacks and women traveled to realize their dreams of becoming reporters. But the book’s seasoned journalists also bring us into the present with great clarity and sometimes painful insight. They confront the challenges veterans and newcomers face as technology changes the reporting dynamic ever faster, but not always with good results. And yet, the love of the profession is constant, as is the desire to help a new generation appreciate that their job remains, as always, to faithfully record our country’s journey toward a more perfect union.” —Charlayne Hunter-Gault, award-winning journalist and author
