About this product

Product Information

Finally I was forced to admit that I work in a corrupted profession.' When award-winning journalist Nick Davies decided to break Fleet Street's unwritten rule by investigating his own colleagues, he found that the business of reporting the truth had been slowly subverted by the mass production of ignorance. orking with a network of off-the-record sources, Davies uncovered the story of the prestigious Sunday newspaper which allowed the CIA and MI6 to plant fiction in its columns; the newsroom which routinely rejects stories about black people; the respected paper that hired a professional fraudster to set up a front company to entrap senior political figures; the newspapers which support law and order while paying cash bribes to bent detectives. Davies names names and exposes the national stories which turn out to be pseudo events manufactured by the PR industry, and the global news stories which prove to be fiction generated by a new machinery of international propaganda. He shows the impact of this on a world where consumers believe a mass of stories which, in truth, are as false as the idea that the Earth is flat - from the millennium bug to the WMD in Iraq - tainting governmen

A monumental and compelling work on the mainstream media
This book describes and explains the failings of the mainstream media in the modern world, and particularly in the UK. It is based on Nick Davies' 30 year journalistic experience, and on solid research which he commissioned from the University of Cardiff. Davies' subsequent book on the hacking scandal, 'Hack Attack' confirms him as Britain's leading investigative journalist.
