"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."

"Using extensive research, Edge
shows examples of different journalistic models that have worked — and many
that haven’t — throughout North America and as far away as New Zealand. . .
. Edge says the question of whether to subsidize news in Canada is moot.
But he does show some compelling models where subsidizing has worked
internationally."

"In Tomorrow’s News: How to Fix
Canada’s Media, his eighth and latest book, Edge is picking up right where
he left off. . . . Edge’s writing can be heavy on numbers and policy. The
book is at its best when it tells the stories of individual news outlets
like CHEK."

Review
"An incredibly dense but
approachable write up on modernized and constantly shifting media. It seems
we are indeed in big trouble . . . it’s difficult to find news content you
can trust. Marc Edge’s impressive book . . . is filled to the brim with facts
and details about the entire landscape of media discourse . . . The more I
read this book I realized how important news is, or how it could
become."
BC Review Read Review
"While 'timely' and 'important' are
overused descriptors of books, to be found in pull quotes on the back of
just about any work of non-fiction, this book is genuinely both timely and
important. . . . The book spends more time on problems than solutions, and is more comprehensive in assessing the
former than outlining the latter, but in a tight 171-page volume, Edge
manages to do both."
Alberta Views Read Review
“Multi-pronged with a dash of
enthusiasm for the future of news media if the powers-that-be embrace
Edge’s suggestions. That’s a big if, unfortunately. . . . He offers a
variety of funding alternatives, some of which seem audacious, to which
Edge might reply, now is the time to be proactive.”
