Product Details
- Victor Pickard shows that the modern journalism crisis is the culmination of long-term historical tensions and structural contradictions such as an over-reliance on advertising revenue, monopoly control over media infrastructures, and a lack of independent oversight. He looks to alternative media institutions that first evolved during the Progressive and New Deal Eras--as well as public media models around the world--to imagine a new kind of journalism.
