Summary
News Is a Verb: Journalism at the Crossroads
“When screaming headlines turn out to be based on stories that don’t support them, the tale of the boy who cried wolf gets new life. When the newspaper is filled with stupid features about celebrities at the expense of hard news, the reader feels patronized. In the process, the critical relationship of reader to newspaper is slowly undermined.”
