- Summary:
- While the phrase Fake News may be a recent phenomenon, the relationship between journalists and the politicians they cover has been on a course for disaster for decades. From Richard Nixons disdain for the press, to Donald Trumps claims that reporters are the enemy of the people, animosity between press and presidency has reached a fever pitch. In Free The Press, renowned journalist Brian J. Karem asks the question How did we get here? And perhaps more importantly, How do we fix it? Blending his experiences as a veteran reporter with trenchant analysis of the erosion of trust between the press and the government over the past 40 years, Free The Press gives readers a unique perspective on the challenges facing journalism as well as the rise of hostility between these institutions.
