What is wrong with the news? To answer this dismaying question, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Alex S. Jones explores how the epochal changes sweeping the media have eroded the core news that has been the essential food supply of our democracy. At a time of dazzling technological innovation, Jones says that what stands to be lost is the fact-based reporting that serves as a watchdog over government, holds the powerful accountable, and gives citizens what they need. In a tumultuous new media era, with cutthroat competition and panic over profits, the commitment of the traditional news media to serious news is fading. Should we lose a critical mass of this news, our democracy will weaken--and possibly even begin to fail. The breathtaking possibilities that the web offers are undeniable, but at what cost? The shattering of the old economic model is taking a toll on journalistic values and standards. Journalistic objectivity and ethics are under assault, as is the bastion of the First Amendment. Pundits and talk show hosts have persuaded Americans that the crisis in news is bias and partisanship. Not so, says Jones. The real crisis is the erosion of the iron core of "accountability" news, a loss that hurts Republicans and Democrats alike. Losing the News is a vivid depiction of the dangers facing fact-based, reported news, but it is also a call to arms. Despite the current crisis, there are many hopeful signs, and Jones closes by looking over the horizon and exploring ways the iron core can be preserved.

陳腐。靠新聞行業發傢的既得利益者自我吹捧,懷念舊日榮光。全書主旨:支撐起媒體行業的鐵球核心,是專業嚴肅可信的調查性紀實新聞;除此之外萬般皆下品,無論是專欄式主觀評析寫作,還是文藝體娛等軟行業,都隻是依附著紀實新聞的二次編譯。而鐵球正被消解腐蝕,因此作者覺得整個媒體行業前途暗淡。紀實新聞在國外之所以衰退,是市場模式的問題,全書反復強調「每日印發的紙質都市新聞」這一被淘汰的形式是媒體命脈,簡直本末倒置,這還算媒體人嗎,該叫紙片人。我自認是熱愛媒體的,我相信媒體隻會在未來活得更好,一如嚴肅信息的交換永不會過時。變則通,通則久,還揪著不放就隻是 ego 瞭。但是作者的見識與文筆非常令人敬佩,還是給多一星吧。
