139: The Truth About the Facts
Manage episode 393859491 series 2501554
Journalism, as well as a wider press, dramatically changed after 1947. And it was all because of a report published by an influential commission of that time. Listen in as Mike Gastin shares the details of the report, the commission that published it, and why it’s lead to a current-day media that few trust.
Show notes
- The Commission on Freedom of the Press’ “A Free and Responsible Press” on Amazon.
- Check out Jack Hart’s great book on writing: “A Writer’s Coach” (It seems to be out of print.)
- And of course, here is William Zinsser’s must-have classic: “On Writing Well“
- Last, but not least, Stephen King’s, “On Writing“
