*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Press and Power explains why journalism is not just another part of the media landscape, but a democratic necessity. In clear, accessible prose, Quentin P. Yarrow shows how reporting helps citizens make informed choices, how verification and evidence separate journalism from entertainment or advocacy, and why a free press is essential to self-government. Drawing on the core functions of the press, the book explores how journalists gather facts, provide context, and hold power to account through investigative reporting and public scrutiny. It also helps readers think more critically about news in a media-saturated world, where headlines, commentary, and persuasion often compete for attention. Ideal for students and civic-minded readers, this book offers a practical, timely framework for understanding what journalism is supposed to do and why it matters when truth, transparency, and public trust are at stake.
