Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. The amount of blah-blah-blah I had to wade through just to get to the first chapter was very off-putting. It’s never a good sign when the author says in the preface (not to be confused with the foreword or the introduction which sandwich said preface) that no one wanted to publish it because the New York Times is too powerful. Sigh. Or maybe it’s not well structured and full of typos? The first couple of chapters indicate clearly that the author is not interested in informing or entertaining readers with tales of how faulty journalism can have far-reaching consequences but treating the newspaper in question as a villain in their imaginary culture war. DNF cause of how bad the writing is. ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
The author takes a critical view of the New York Times, decrying its political affiliations and accusing it of abandoning truthful journalism.As flagship of the American news media, the New York Times is the world's most powerful news outlet. With thousands of reporters covering events from all corners of the globe, the Times has the power to influence wars, foment revolution, shape economies and change the very nature of our culture. It doesn't just cover the news: it creates it. But the institution that is the New York Times is showing cracks. No longer the fact-stringing paper of record once known as the Gray Lady, the Times has become a political lightning rod that divides more often than it unites. It is frequently beset by scandal and has even emerged as a symbol of the political, cultural and social ills plaguing our society. The Gray Lady Winked pulls back the curtain on this illustrious institution to reveal a quintessentially human organization where ideology, ego, power and politics compete with the more humble need to present the facts. In its 10 gripping chapters, The Gray Lady Winked offers readers an eye-opening, often shocking, look at the New York Times's greatest journalistic failures, so devastating they changed the course of history. Most importantly of all, The Gray Lady Winked presents a cautionary tale that shows what happens when the guardians of the truth abandon that sacred value in favor of self-interest and ideology-- and what this means for our future as much as for our past.
