Reviews
"In this extremely painful year, Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel...have outlined with great skill and lucidity the changes taking place and why they happened. Anyone concerned with how we as a profession are now using our precious freedoms...would do well to read their description of the decline of the editing function, and of the rise of a culture of allegation and assertion at the expense of an older culture of verification...[W]e are very much in their debt."
- From the Preface by David Halberstam
