5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent and timely collection
For the past year, I have been following Danny Schechter's column on Mediachannel.org. His insights are special, often humorous, and his writing is unequalled in both its lightness and its depth. I was very glad, therefore, to hear of the publication of this book, and I was not disappointed: It containts various articles from the News Dissector's long and unusual career...

An excellent and timely collection,
This review is from: News Dissector (Paperback)
For the past year, I have been following Danny Schechter's column on Mediachannel.org. His insights are special, often humorous, and his writing is unequalled in both its lightness and its depth. I was very glad, therefore, to hear of the publication of this book, and I was not disappointed: It containts various articles from the News Dissector's long and unusual career in the media, in the same style and intelligence of his contemporary columns. They illuminate a unique media personality, and I heartily recommend the book.
