Jeffrey St. Clair and Alexander Cockburn present a detailed scrutiny of the 'quality' print press and leading corporate media in the last decade, detailing a disastrous sequence of misrepresentation, suppression, ignorance and a wilful embrace of the government's agenda. The book traces the impending disintigration of what are now 'old media' and looks towards the emergence of an entirely new landscape of mass communications: one that includes a more populist approach to information dissemination.
