Meer over het boek

Annotation In recent years, media coverage of the European Union has faced its most serious test. The crisis in the Euro currency has thrown into sharp relief the shortcomings of a style of reporting too often unable to engage the interest of audiences deeper than political, official, academic and diplomatic elites. The crisis also put under the spotlight a style of journalism which is geared largely towards reporting on relations between the EU and the country which the news organisation serves.
