Can You Trust the Media? Reviews

'This book appealed immediately... uplifting, inspiring and witty.' -- Sydney Morning Herald
''Can You Trust The Media' is a very accessible history of the media and trust, and a provocative attempt to prick some moral balloons. After a series of scandals about impartiality, honesty and accuracy it is a welcome breath of fresh air thinking.' -- Charlie Beckett
'Anyone interested in British journalism should read it.' -- Kevin Marsh, BBC
'In this accessible, jauntily written book, Monck ends up certain that we need journalism, but sees it, with affection and exasperation, as a flawed thing, which, when it does good, does so by accident.' -- Financial Times
