Brilliant analysis of US journalism during the 1972 election campaign. How reporters were constrained by daily deadlines and the expectations of conformity and objectivity from their editors and colleagues. How the press's weaknesses were skilfully manipulated by Nixon and his secretive team, and why the contrasting openness of Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern led reporters to paint him as an indecisive hypocrite, despite being broadly sympathetic to his policies. Although `objective journalism' is no longer the paradigm followed in modern reporting, this book remains hugely insightful about how news stories are produced.
