Description

Journalists and Their Shadows offers a searing cultural and political critique of the American media in its current state. Patrick Lawrence contends that the press had a bad Cold War, never recovering from it and repeating old errors with striking resemblance to its early days. This transformation has led to an emerging sector of independent media, which represent the promise of a brilliant future. Lawrence draws upon his decades-long experience as a foreign correspondent for the International Herald Tribune and columnist for alternative news outlets such as Counterpunch and Consortium News. His book probes the psychological dilemma that must be understood if we are to address the current crisis in the media landscape. A unique blend of memoir, social history, and insider perspective, Journalists and Their Shadows provides a compelling exploration of the American media's transformation and its implications for the future of journalism.
