20 Things That Would Make the News Better
Format: Hardback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

In this unique book, one of British broadcasting's most experienced voices examines how the news can be made better at a time of existential threat.
Amid a welter of fake news, clickbait, rogue voices on social media, demographically dwindling viewers and external threats from the government, Roger Mosey argues that public service broadcasting must buck those trends, eschew the binary and go back to basics.
This book describes twenty core ways in which the news can save itself by getting smarter, sharper, less responsive to social media, more impartial, more diverse, more nuanced and less of a punchbag for politicians.
Mosey argues that we are at a defining point in the history of the news and offers a vision of two possible futures: one in which the incitements of populist demagogues, the passions of social media and the lure of fake news are ever more dominant -- or one where we fight hard to retain media that has an interest in the public good, and where we try to preserve truth, fairness and evidence-based judgements.
