In this eye-opening exposé, Davies uncovers an industry awash in corruption and bias. His findings include the story of a prestigious Sunday newspaper that allowed the CIA to plant fiction in its columns; the newsroom that routinely rejects stories about black people; the respected paper that hired a professional fraudster to set up a front company to entrap senior political figures; as well as a number of newspapers that pay cash bribes to bent detectives. His research also exposes a range of national stories that were in fact pseudo events manufactured by the public relations industry and global news stories that were fiction generated by a machinery of international propaganda. The degree to which the media industry has affected government policy and perverted popular belief is also addressed. Gripping and though-provoking, this is an insider's look at one of the world's most tainted professions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nick Davies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0099512688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780099512684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Nick Davies","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946203644159,"sku":"9780099512684","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_fb036d5c-2a62-4a7b-a90b-b4e66f6aaa0c.jpg?v=1681512015","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flat-earth-news-nick-davies-9780099512684","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
