Republic of denial : press, politics, and public life, Michael Janeway

Creator
Summary
This thought-provoking book offers insightful critique of the relationship among the press, politics, and public life. Disdain for politics today in the United States is almost universal. Condemnation of the press is rampant as well. Until we understand the modern condition of politics and journalism - and the cultural context in which they interact - says Michael Janeway, there's small hope of either recovering its standing. Drawing on years of experience at the top levels of the news business and in politics and government, Janeway provides an integrated, insider's critique of the profound changes in these professional worlds, showing how trends in each have contributed to deepening public alienation. None of today's proposed remedies for the failings of our press or political system is adequate, Janeway argues, for none take full account of the integral relationship between the two spheres. In the absence of recognition of its buried democratic crisis, Janeway concludes, the United States has become a "republic of denial
