Truthophobia: How the Boomers Broke Journalism: The Story of the Death of Impartial and Objective News

Publisher: Independent Publishing Network

Abstract:

Why is journalism broken and who broke it? The Baby Boomers changed everything: music, fashion, hairstyles — even journalism and the way we understand truth.

This remarkable book tells the story of journalism's transformation from the high-minded impartiality of Victorian Liberal Journalism, to the ethically-committed, tribal journalism of the Boomers.

Former BBC news producer Graham Majin's freewheeling, non-conformist approach presses the intellectual reset button and asks whether we have inherited the wrong type of journalism for the tough challenges of the 2020s. It is a must-read book for anyone who wants to understand how we got here and what happens next.
