| "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." |
"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." |

"A compelling argument for reform
in media ownership . . . that deserves discussion across the country.
. . A must read for anyone who aspires to active and informed Canadian
citizenship."
|
"An interesting and informative account. .
. . provides the reader with a solid evaluation of the different
issues. . . . An excellent introduction to the topic."
|
"That rarest form of scholarship:
a compelling read. . . . Edge brings to life the smoky newsrooms,
bitter labour disputes, and eccentric characters that dominated
the times.” |
