“Marc Edge has a new book and a message we need to pay attention to . . . Edge follows through on the title's promise of 'how to fix Canada's media,' particularly news media. His suggestions for reform are worth the price of admission."

"Relentless, dogged, and thorough . . . If you don’t believe our country’s print media are under constant attack by big money interests and hedge funds in the United States, turn any page of Edge’s well-researched and unstoppable probe and you will learn differently. . . . a blistering indictment using facts not polemics"

"He makes some important points which are not as widely known as they should be, for example that newspapers are 'highly scalable' businesses, meaning they can cut costs rapidly when revenues fall. that newspapers can also save money by selling fewer print copies . . . and that the UK is unusual in its lack of a newspaper subscription culture."

"Throughout his career as a journalist and as a scholar, Edge has proven that he’s not susceptible to being captured by anyone. . . His incendiary and subversive research should be of particular interest to residents of Western Canada."
Georgia Straight

"Edge’s no-holds-barred book names names of the naysayers and doomsday mongers. . . . His argument here delivers the analytics lacking in many reports about the 'death' of printed news."
