| “This is an important and timely
book. The full depth and breadth of Marc Edge’s 50-plus years
of reporting and academic research have culminated in this recipe
to rejuvenate news outlets in Canada.” More reviews |
"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.” |
