Media control : Huit grands journalistes américains résistent aux pressions de l'administration Bush

Rate this book
Les révélations contenues dans ce livre réussiront à stupéfier le lecteur le plus affranchi. Ses auteurs font partie de l'élite médiatique des Etats-Unis. A chaque page, ils accumulent éléments inédits, histoires vécues et informations de première main sur les relations entre les médias et l'administration Bush. Qu'un livre d'une telle force nous parvienne de la presse américaine incite à considérer celle-ci avec respect. Familiers des coulisses du pouvoir, ces journalistes d'envergure partagent l'analyse du patron de presse Lord Northcliffe en 1903 : " Quelque part, quelqu'un cache quelque chose. Là se situe l'information, tout le reste n'est que de la publicité. " Réquisitoire contre le système moderne du pouvoir, Media Control est aussi un plaidoyer pour l'esprit critique qui lui résiste.

About the author

Kristina Borjesson

Born in Washington, D.C. Borjesson grew up in Port-au-Prince Haiti, the daughter of a civil engineer and a businesswoman. She has been an investigative reporter for thirty years. She published her first book, Into the Buzzsaw: Leading Journalists Expose the Myth of a Free Press, in response to being censored while investigating the 1996 crash of TWA Flight 800. Buzzsaw won the National Press Club’s Arthur Rowse Award for Media Criticism and the Independent Publishers Award. Her second book, Feet to the Fire: The Media After 9/11, was an examination of why the nation’s most prominent reporters and news executives failed to verify the reasons given for going to war with Iraq. Feet to the Fire also won the Independent Publishers Award. Borjesson’s third book, The Reptile Club Librarian, is the fictionalized memoir of a man who spent his career working both sides of the law.
