When the Press Fails: Political Power and the News Media from Iraq to Katrina Hardcover - 2007
by W. Lance Bennett; Regina G. Lawrence; Steven Livingston
RThis book has the power to ignite a much-needed public discussion about the role of Tthe media' in public life and it should be required reading in newsrooms across the country"--Dan Rather.
Summary
A sobering look at the intimate relationship between political power and the news media, When the Press Fails argues the dependence of reporters on official sources disastrously thwarts coverage of dissenting voices from outside the Beltway.The result is both an indictment of official spin and an urgent call to action that questions why the mainstream press failed to challenge the Bush administration’s arguments for an invasion of Iraq or to illuminate administration policies underlying the Abu Ghraib controversy. Drawing on revealing interviews with Washington insiders and analysis of content from major news outlets, the authors illustrate the media’s unilateral surrender to White House spin whenever oppositional voices elsewhere in government fall silent. Contrasting these grave failures with the refreshingly critical reporting on Hurricane Katrina—a rare event that caught officials off guard, enabling journalists to enter a no-spin zone—When the Press Fails concludes by proposing new practices to reduce reporters’ dependence on power."The hand-in-glove relationship of the U.S. media with the White House is mercilessly exposed in this determined and disheartening study that repeatedly reveals how the press has toed the official line at those moments when its independence was most needed."—George Pendle, Financial Times"Bennett, Lawrence, and Livingston are indisputably right about the news media’s dereliction in covering the administration’s campaign to take the nation to war against Iraq."—Don Wycliff, Chicago Tribune"[This] analysis of the weaknesses of Washington journalism deserves close attention."—Russell Baker, New York Review of Books
