Flat Earth News
An Award-winning Reporter Exposes Falsehood, Distortion and Propaganda in the Global Media
Book • 1998
In this book, Nick Davies investigates the practices of daily news media in the UK from the 1980s to 2008.
The research, funded by the Rowntree Foundation and conducted by the Cardiff School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies, found that a significant portion of news stories were not based on original reporting but rather on recycled press releases and wire news without proper fact-checking.
Davies argues that the structural issues within the corporate model of news organizations, rather than individual journalists, are the primary cause of these problems.
The book also critiques the influence of corporate interests on journalism and the resulting impact on the quality of news reporting.
