Merchants of truth : inside the news revolution
Abramson, Jill, 1954-2019
Books
'Merchants of Truth' is the in-the-room account of the revolution that has swept the news industry over the last decade. It tells the story of two maverick upstarts - BuzzFeed and VICE - whose viral technology, dedication to millennial tastes and total disregard for the old journalistic values turn them rapidly into billion-dollar businesses. Simultaneously, it reveals the seismic changes that are taking place within two of the world's most venerable news institutions - the New York Times and the Washington Post - who are forced ultimately to compromise the founding principles of their work - objectivity and impartiality - in order to survive the digital hurricane.
