Regret the Error

How Media Mistakes Pollute the Press and Imperil Free Speech

Boekbeoordeling

Meer over het boek

Winner of the National Press Club’s Arthur Rowse Award for Press Criticism! The errors--running the gamut from hilarious to tragic--include "Fuzzy Numbers” (when numbers and math undermine reporting) "Obiticide” (printing the obituary of a living person), and "Unintended Consequences” (typos and misidentifications that create a new, incorrect reality). While some of the errors are laugh-out-loud funny, the book also offers a serious investigation of contemporary journalism’s lack of accountability to the public, and a rousing call to arms for all news organizations to mend their ways and reclaim the role of the press as honest voice of the people.
