En savoir plus sur le livre

Winner of the National Press Club’s Arthur Rowse Award for Press Criticism! The errors--running the gamut from hilarious to tragic--include "Fuzzy Numbers” (when numbers and math undermine reporting) "Obiticide” (printing the obituary of a living person), and "Unintended Consequences” (typos and misidentifications that create a new, incorrect reality). While some of the errors are laugh-out-loud funny, the book also offers a serious investigation of contemporary journalism’s lack of accountability to the public, and a rousing call to arms for all news organizations to mend their ways and reclaim the role of the press as honest voice of the people.
