Reviews

"Brock's analysis is too well-reasonsed and supported to be easily dismissed as blind optimism, lighting a beacon of hope to those interested in seeing journalism right itself from its current state of upheaval." - Rich Rezler

"Refreshingly, however, Brock does not see the influence of digital media as necessarily a death-toll for established, traditional journalism" - Savannah Whaley

"Brock refuses to fall into the trap of technological determinism. He accepts that technological developments lead to change but rightly understands that... journalism has always been in a state of flux." Roy Greenslade

"The book loses some of its coherence once Brock starts to explore the digital realm, simply because there is too much to know or digest." - Emily Bell

"He's particularly good at analysing the changes which have taken place, such as digital technology, and showing that they should force a complete rethink of journalism rather than attempts to adapt old ways to fit new technology."

"I found it to be the perfect example of the educated tone one needs to read in order to form both a credible, well-informed opinion on the state of journalism today and an idea of what it will take to ensure that we'll one day look back on these times as a turning point rather than a terminus."
