COMPLACENCY AND COLLUSION: A CRITICAL INTRODUCTION TO BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL JOURNALISM
Book ID/图书代码： 10953015B85674
English Summary/英文概要： The growing passivity and changing bias of Western journalists is widely acknowledged. Journalism is increasingly hollowed out by writers who are no longer gathering news but rather churning out unsourced information, PR texts and snippets found online. Behind this dubious practice is an increasingly invested corporate sector whose stake in the mainstream media as a mouthpiece has exponentially increased in the last few decades.
In Complacency and Collusion, Keith J. Butterick focuses on the content and practice of financial and business journalism, giving compelling explanations for why big business needs the press and why the press needs big business. He cuts through the misreporting that has occurred since the financial crisis and makes clear the inadequacies of articles in prestigious papers and magazines, such as the Economist and Financial Times. In concluding his analysis he reflects on what the growth and spread of complacent, complicit corporate journalism will mean for the future of a free media.
Complacency and Collusion is one of the first critical studies of the field of business and financial journalism to be suitable for the graduate reader. It will serve as both a valuable teaching resource and a penetrating political commentary on contemporary journalism.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 很多人都认为西方新闻记者的主动性越来越差了，所持有的偏见也在不断变化。新闻越来越空洞，记者像作家一样，不再是收集新闻，而是粗制滥造没有来源的小道消息、公关宣传和网上流传的只言片语。这种令人不安的做法背后是企业越来越多的投资，他们所持有的主流媒体的股份在过去几十年里呈指数级增长，使得媒体沦为他们的传声筒。
在本书中， Keith J. Butterick侧重于金融和商业新闻的内容与实践，通过令人信服的解释说明了为什么大企业需要新闻，而媒体也需要大企业。他拆解自金融危机以来发生的错误报道，解析那些如《经济学人》、《金融时报》等著名报纸和杂志文章的不足之处。作为总结，他反思这些企业新闻对媒体自由未来的意义。
本书是商业和金融新闻领域最重要的研究之一，适合于研究生级别的读者，是宝贵的教学资源，也是对于当代新闻精辟的政治评论。（LYR）
