Title: an succinct commentary on modern journalism
Product review: Macneil presents a compelling insight into the competing agendas in modern journalism. The struggle between the conservative,experienced Munro[perhaps a fictional Jennings],who prides himself on examining what he sees as real news & issues,and the forces of the market such as the increasing amount of tabloid journalism present on the main networks[perhaps a swipe at Brokaw],is presented in an entertaining dialogue. The intersecting issues,such as the rise of new talent,political infighting,and the role of media intrigue,adds to the reality of Munro's dilemma. Macneil's obvious inside knowledge of the tv news divisions and the stuggles they face with cable,news magazines & the internet make this book even more compelling. Overall,an essential book for any student of the media,politics & corporate backstabbing.
