"This book is full of riveting stories - from the journalists, photographers and camera crews who reported the Black Saturday fires, and from the survivors who suddenly found themselves in the media spotlight. The views of both the media and the survivors are poignant, revealing and surprising. The book reveals the pressures on media professionals working during Black Saturday and its aftermath, the ethical standards they set themselves as they went about their work, and the impact on them personally of covering what was Australia's worst peace-time disaster. And the survivors talk about what it was like to be in the media spotlight when they were still dazed and shocked and just starting to come to terms with the disaster that would change their lives forever. They describe the effects on them and their families of being in the news and how they felt when the media circus moved on. For media practitioners, this book should be compulsory reading: there is much here for professional journalists to think about. The survivor interviews make this book a landmark study of how the media works and how that work affects and is seen by the victims of a natural disaster like Black Saturday. Beyond media professionals, this book is for the wider community, for all those interested in how journalists do their work and how the work they do can affect people's lives."--Back cover.
