Two Washington Post executives who earned their stripes as investigative reporters explore the shortcomings of contemporary journalism, addressing both why the industry is in peril and what can be done to save it.

Publisher's Note
Two former investigative journalists journey inside the world of contemporary new media to explain why we receive the frequently unsatisfactory news we do, why news reporting is deteriorating, the values that dominate the news business, and how to restore the serious, incorruptible, and revelatory journalism that is crucial to American society.

Industry reviews
"Downie and Kaiser write from inside the tent, and they write from experience. Their views are worth our attention."
Washington Post Book World  (02/24/2002)

"This is an important, up-to-date study that should be required reading for journalism students and serious consumers of the news."
Publishers Weekly  (02/18/2002)

"[An] important book....Downie and Kaiser offer valuable firsthand insights into how The Washington Post and other papers have kept the faith, and they are not self-serving. Their reporting on journalism's bottom-feeders, and on those driving news organizations in that direction, is easily worth the price of the book."
New York Times Book Review  (03/10/2002)

"[A] valuable and alarming book...."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - David Shaw 

"[A] thorough piece of reporting in the upright plain-but-honest tradition.
New York Review of Books - Russell Baker (07/18/2002)
