Rushed reporting and thin coverage. Timidity in the face of adversity. Polarized perspectives and euphemistic language. Groupthink about complicated events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile much blame has been levelled at big tech, Barbie Zelizer traces the decline of American journalism to the Cold War. She makes the bold claim that Cold War-era practices are to blame for the state of journalism today, undermining a once trusted media environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow the Cold War Broke the News\u003c\/em\u003e is a groundbreaking book that shows how journalism's current problems can be traced back to customs developed over half a century ago and demonstrates how they've continued to upend journalism, journalists, and the news ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe all need a news environment that works.
