Wholly refreshing it is one of the strengths of this book that a range of problems are raised, from the choice of value-laden words and phrases to broader issues about the underlying ideology of the news agenda, the mind-set of journalists working to that agenda and the insidious nature of propaganda. Most importantly, it offers journalists a coherent, practical set of guidelines for facing up to these problems...the undeniable merit of the authors' approach is that it makes journalists think more deeply about their overall responsibilities to society. --Roy Greenslade, Professor of Journalism, City University, London (from his introduction) Worth its weight in gold.... Jake Lynch and Annabel McGoldrick deserve much praise for making this enterprise exciting as well as instructive. --Richard Falk, Professor Emeritus, Princeton Elegantly written, often humorous, always encyclopedic...the most refreshing and constructive analysis of media practice for years. --Stuart Rees, Professor Emeritus and Director, Centre for Peace & Conflict Studies, University of Sydney An indispensable training tool for journalists living and working in the midst of violent conflict. --Carolyn Arguillas, editor, Mindanews, the Philippines You cannot put it down without being convinced --Phillip Knightley, author of The First Casualty --
