Description

Blowing the whistle on media complicity with power When Patrick Chalmers joined Reuters as a foreign correspondent, he thought he'd found the ultimate job in journalism. Inspired by the agency's commitment to freedom from bias, he looked forward to a career of reporting round the world. A decade later, he walked away to be an activist. Fraudcast News recounts how Patrick's eyes were opened. Deftly mixing the personal and political, he gives a rare insider view of our media's failures. Far from holding the powerful to account, they present the news in ways that serve narrow elites, promoting their interests and priorities. Though some reporters bark, very few ever bite. Most are more lapdog than watchdog, leaving the public misinformed. The consequences stretch around the planet. Poor reporting of the structures of power allows the privileged to amass vast wealth at the expense of the rest of us. Conventional media skate around the problems, doing little to highlight the causes, still less solutions. Fraudcast News describes how ordinary people could do far better, bringing to life the alternative stories that might change our world.
