Journalism,it's long been said,is not just a business but a vital public service.Lately,however,voices from all sides of the political spectrum insist that today's journalism often makes a mockery of its high-minded ideals.But that's where agreement ceases and the debate abou what ails journalism grows increasingly partisan and ugly.Is the culprit big media consolidation?Gotcha journalism?Noisy instant opinions on cable and the Internet?Apack of unpa-trions liberals,out of touch with America,whose collective bias forms an “Axis of Weasel”?Right-wing pundits who think that the words“fair and balanced”will,like a fairy's spell,turn their partisan diet into fair and balanced journalism?In Backstory,Ken Auletta's piercing gaze sweeps into every corner of a subject that has generated rtremen dous noise but preious little clear thinking.

Auletta sits the reader by the campfire and tells stories.Stories about people that serve to illuminate the institutions they work for and the issues they wrestle with.He travels from the proud New York Times,a last outpost of old——school family ownership,recently burffeted by scandal,out across the country to jour-nalism's new wave,chains like the Chicago Tribune where synergy is in the saddle and the stock price often sets the pace.He journeys to the depths of New York City's brutal tabloid wars,where he discovers that ego and power are at least as compelling a motivator as profit；he ventures out onto the cushy celebrity-journalist circuit,where he shines a spotlight on jour-nalists who've ascended to the Olympian status of “media personality”and get to schmooze with Imus and collect fat corporate lecture fees.He reckons with the legacy of journalism's less compromised past,and prospects for its future,from fallen stars of “new media”like Inside.com to the ascendant star of cable,Roger Ailes's Fox News.

The product of more than ten years cover-ing the news media for The New Yorker,Backstory will become the definitive take on this most important of subjects,a Journalism IOI for civilians as well as jour-nalists by the course's master teacher.

书籍介绍

From Howell Raines and the New York Times to Roger Ailes and Fox News, America's most celebrated media journalist dissects the people and institutions shaping media, for good and for ill, in a time of profound change.

It is said that journalism is a vital public service as well as a business, but more and more it is also said that big media consolidation; noisy, instant opinions on cable and the Internet; and political "bias" are making a mockery of such high-minded ideals. In Backstory, Ken Auletta explores why one of America's most important industries is also among its most troubled. He travels from the proud New York Times, the last outpost of old-school family ownership, whose own personnel problems make headline news, into the depths of New York City's brutal tabloid wars and out across the country to journalism's new wave, chains like the Chicago Tribune's, where "synergy" is ever more a mantra. He probes the moral ambiguity of "media personalities"-journalists who become celebrities themselves, padding their incomes by schmoozing with Imus and rounding the lucrative corporate lecture circuit. He reckons with the legacy of journalism's past and the different prospects for its future, from fallen stars of new media such as Inside.com to the rising star of cable news, Roger Ailes's Fox News. The product of more than ten years covering the news media for The New Yorker, Backstory is Journalism 101 by the course's master teacher.
