This book stresses the importance of professional journalism in an era when direct communication by government authorities via social media networks has escalated while newsrooms have been shrinking for decades. Mixing practical hands-on experience with academic research, in his work Brazilian journalist Ricardo Gandour brings statistical data on both phenomena and warns of the consequences for the information environment and democracies.
