The ongoing News International phonehacking scandal has made
abundantly clear that the media's influence over politics is both
immense and largely hidden from public scrutiny. As the scandal
grows, a question arises: even when they stay on the right side of
the law, to what extent do the media influence the political
process? In "Democracy under Attack," one of the media's
own--Malcolm Dean, the "Guardian'"s long-standing chief monitor of
social policy--expertly indicts his fellow journalists, revealing
the ways their distorted coverage undermines democracy. Based on
four decades of upperlevel UK government briefings and interviews
with over one hundred senior policy makers, "Democracy under
Attack" overflows with incisive observations and colorful stories,
culminating in a damning list of the seven deadly sins of modern
journalists. Dean's long experience and insider status inform his
detailed and disturbing account of news production in Britain,
revealing the connections between what goes on in newsrooms,
lobbyists' offices, and Parliament as well as how those connections
decisively shape government policy.
