'The Men Who Killed the News is a passionate and excoriating book that should inform and disturb the general reader interested in media, power, and misinformation.' * <I><B>Australian Book Review</B></I> * ‘In a pacey compression of press history going back to the late 19th century, Beecher vividly illustrates how newspaper moguls … have cynically debased the profession of journalism in pursuit of wealth and power … The Men Who Killed the News is a book for the times.’ * <B>The Conversation</B> * ‘A witty and absorbing Decline and Fall for a media era that has destroyed itself.’ -- <B>Virginia Trioli</B> ‘The Men Who Killed the News is one of the most important books published here in many years. It should be read by everyone who is interested in a civil society.’ -- <B>Mark Rubbo, Readings online</B> 'A globally important book' -- <B>Alan Kohler</B> 'Brilliant' -- <B>Mike Carlton, author of <I>Dive!</I></B>
