The End of News

$15.00 CAD

pp. 165. “In this insightful, passionate and literate study, Roger Bird argues that news as we have known it is destined to occupy a smaller and a smaller part of our cultural map. News will become a minority occupation, an irrelevant activity in a media landscape defined mostly by entertainment on the one hand and, on the other, specialized and costly data packaged for elites who can afford it in order to achieve their professional or political goals. And what news does exist will have passed through sophisticated management mechanisms of government, corporations, and lobby groups.”
