One part of this book- The rise of the corporate news network - in a CNN/NBC veteran reporter's point of view, very much related with indonesian broadcast bussiness at present. www.iralennon.blogspot.com

This was a okay book,but I did`nt finish. I learned just by reading the first three chapters. As a aspiring journalist, I learned a little about how the media treats people, I knew most of it already but it was a okay book. I can`t really say much considering I did`nt finish it.

Anderson knows whereof she speaks. The business is poorer for her absence and the absence of old-school, hard-news journalists like her.
