Publisher Description

From sensational headlines to celebrity gossip, how is the critical relationship of reader to newspaper being slowly undermined? Peter Hamill, a newspaperman for almost 4 decades and most recently editor-in-chief of the New York Daily News, gives a powerful critique of journalism at the end of the 20th century. This program is part of a new series called The Library of Contemporary Thought, giving top opinion makers a forum to explore the most provocative, fascinating, and relevant issues of our day.
