GETTING IT WRONG: TEN OF THE GREATEST MISREPORTED STORIES IN AMERICAN JOURNALISM
Book ID/图书代码： 13520010B37862
English Summary/英文概要： From the Publisher
Did the Washington Post bring down Richard Nixon by reporting on the Watergate scandal? Did a cryptic remark by Walter Cronkite effectively end the Vietnam War? Did William Randolph Hearst vow to "furnish the war" in the 1898 conflict with Spain? In Getting It Wrong, W. Joseph Campbell addresses and dismantles such prominent media-driven myths-stories about or by the news media that are widely believed but which, on close examination, prove apocryphal. In a fascinating exploration of these and other cases-including the supposedly outstanding coverage of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina-Campbell describes how myths like these can feed stereotypes, deflect blame from policymakers, and overstate the power and influence of the news media.
"If daily journalism constitutes history’s first rough draft, then Getting it Wrong certainly reveals how rough that draft can be. Joseph Campbell is a dogged and first-rate scholar."—Neil Henry, Dean, University of California, Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism
"Dr. Campbell has done meticulous research that examines ten media myths in context. This book rightfully calls us to rethink some significant errors that have become a part of our history and our collective memories. It is just downright interesting reading."—Wallace B. Eberhard, recipient of the American Journalism Historians Association Kobre Award for Lifetime Achievement

《华盛顿邮报》报道了水门丑闻后，理查德.尼克松就垮台了吗？Walter Cronkite的评论有效停止了越南战争？威廉•蓝道夫•赫斯特1898年宣誓“终止战争”引发了与西班牙的冲突吗？《错误报道》中W. Joseph Campbell对于媒体趋向的事件真相或是易被接受的新闻界报道的真相进行了揭露，如果经过仔细核查，那些所谓的真相皆为假相。此类案件的暴露中-包括对那场世纪飓风卡崔娜带给新奥尔良的广泛知名度的报道的揭露- Campbell描述了此类神秘性事件的报道的成型过程，如何损坏政客名誉，并夸大新闻媒介的影响力度的。
