<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Former executive editor of <i>The New York Times</i> and one of our most eminent journalists Jill Abramson provides a </b><b>"valuable and insightful" (<i>The Boston Globe</i>)</b><b> report on the disruption of the news media over the last decade, as shown via </b><b>two legacy (<i>The New York Times </i>and<i> The Washington Post</i>) and two upstart (<i>BuzzFeed</i> and <i>VICE</i>) companies as they plow through a revolution that pits old vs. new media.</b> <p/>"A marvelous book" (<i>The</i> <i>New York Times Book Review</i>), <i>Merchants of Truth</i> is the groundbreaking and gripping story of the precarious state of the news business. <p/>The new digital reality nearly kills two venerable newspapers with an aging readership while creating two media behemoths with a ballooning and fickle audience of millennials. "Abramson provides this deeply reported insider account of an industry fighting for survival. With a keen eye for detail and a willingness to interrogate her own profession, Abramson takes readers into the newsrooms and boardrooms of the legacy newspapers and the digital upstarts that seek to challenge their dominance" (<i>Vanity Fair</i>). We get to know the defenders of the legacy presses as well as the outsized characters who are creating the new speed-driven media competitors. The players include Jeff Bezos and Marty Baron (<i>The</i> <i>Washington Post</i>)<i>, </i> Arthur Sulzberger and Dean Baquet (<i>The</i> <i>New York Times</i>), Jonah Peretti (<i>BuzzFeed</i>), and Shane Smith (<i>VICE</i>) as well as their reporters and anxious readers<i>.</i> <p/><i>Merchants of Truth</i> raises crucial questions that concern the well-being of our society. We are facing a crisis in trust that threatens the free press. "One of the best takes yet on journalism's changing fortunes" (<i>Publishers Weekly</i>, starred review), Abramson's book points us to the future.
