Praise for Bad News:
“Thorough, hard-hitting, and admirably balanced. It should be required reading for . . . anyone who believes that solid reporting on the business and financial world is important to democracy.”
—James Ledbetter, Reuters
"Though the contributors disagree on whether the media did or did not do its job, all present smart, deeply considered analyses that make for fascinating reading."
—Publishers Weekly
"A sort of All the President's Men for our time, and just the thing to lure bright young people into economics graduate programs and journalism school—if only there were jobs waiting on the other end."
—Kirkus Reviews
“Smart, deeply considered … fascinating read.”
—Robert W. McChesney, co-author, The Death and Life of American Journalism
"In the thrall of Wall Street and way too cozy with their sources, America's business press missed the biggest story of our times—the collapse of the U.S. economy. Bad News explains how this happened."
—Arianna Huffington
