Callison and Young mount a fullfrontal assault on the 'view from nowhere' and challenge us to understand that whose stories get told and who is able to tell them are critical factors in ensuring that journalism remains an essential pillar of democratic societies -- Ethan Zuckerman, Center for Civic Media, MIT This rich, important book brings the lessons of feminist anthropology, science studies, and history itself to bear on contemporary journalism. Norms of objectivity and traditional business models may be crumbling, but as this book shows, a new and better world of grounded, reflexive reporting is waiting to be won -- Fred Turner, Stanford University Veteran journalists Candis Callison and Mary Lynn Young use unflinching eyes to capture the true picture of journalism in Canada, looking in every newsroom corner, to see if the profession can survive the current assault against it, and, if it deserves to. Every aspiring journalist, communicator or media professional should read this book in order to get an insider's glimpse into how news is made, who makes the decisions shaping what we see, hear and read daily, and, where the gaping holes are -- Tanya Talaga, The world is on fire and the public doesn't simply need better reporting on the height of the blaze, the strength of the wind, and the extent of the damage, however important. We also urgently need to put out the blaze! Reckoning offers a powerful call to action, coupling ethnographic insights and visionary analyses, situating journalism within a wider field of action, and offering deeply incisive accounts of what it means to be a systems journalist-one who cares not only about what happened, but what will happen. -Ruha Benjamin, Princeton University Veteran journalists Candis Callison and Mary Lynn Young use unflinching eyes to capture the true picture of journalism in Canada, looking in every newsroom corner, to see if the profession can survive the current assault against it, and, if it deserves to.
