  • As local media institutions collapse and news deserts sprout up across the country, the US is facing a profound journalism crisis. Meanwhile, continuous revelations about the role that major media outlets--from Facebook to Fox News--play in the spread of misinformation have exposed deep pathologies in American communication systems. Despite these threats to democracy, policy responses have been woefully inadequate. In Democracy Without Journalism? Victor Pickard argues that we're overlooking the core roots of the crisis. By uncovering degradations caused by run-amok commercialism, he brings into focus the historical antecedents, market failures, and policy inaction that led to the implosion of commercial journalism and the proliferation of misinformation through both social media and mainstream news. The problem isn't just the loss of journalism or irresponsibility of Facebook, but the very structure upon which our profit-driven media system is built. The rise of a misinformation society is symptomatic of historical and endemic weaknesses in the American media system tracing back to the early commercialization of the press in the 1800s. While professionalization was meant to resolve tensions between journalism's public service and profit imperatives, Pickard argues that it merely camouflaged deeper structural maladies. Journalism has always been in crisis. The market never supported the levels of journalism--especially local, international, policy, and investigative reporting--that a healthy democracy requires. Today these long-term defects have metastasized.In this book, Pickard presents a counter-narrative that shows how the modern journalism crisis stems from media's historical over-reliance on advertising revenue, the ascendance of media monopolies, and a lack of public oversight. He draws attention to the perils of monopoly control over digital infrastructures and the rise of platform monopolies, especially the Facebook problem. He looks to experiments from the Progressive and New Deal Eras--as well as public media models around the world--to imagine a more reliable and democratic information system. The book envisions what a new kind of journalism might look like, emphasizing the need for a publicly owned and democratically governed media system. Amid growing scrutiny of unaccountable monopoly control over media institutions and concerns about the consequences to democracy, now is an opportune moment to address fundamental flaws in US news and information systems and push for alternatives. Ultimately, the goal is to reinvent journalism.

Journalism & Nonfiction Editorial Review

In "Democracy Without Journalism?: Confronting the Misinformation Society," the author, Victor Pickard, provides a profound analysis of contemporary journalism's precarious state and its implications for democracy. Drawing on extensive research, Pickard navigates through the complex landscape of media crises, highlighting how the deteriorating standards of fact-based reporting have reached alarming levels in the United States today. His exploration reveals the intricacies of journalism’s failures and posits innovative solutions that challenge traditional notions of media ownership and funding. The book compellingly argues for a model where news media is owned by the public rather than private entities, which often prioritize profit over public service. It critiques the misconception that public funding leads to governmental control by illustrating successful Scandinavian examples that support quality journalism while ensuring editorial independence. The text intertwines historical context with current events, offering readers a dual lens through which to understand the ongoing erosion of democratic values alongside a potential renaissance of journalism. Readers appreciate Pickard's clear and insightful writing style, making complex ideas accessible without diluting the gravity of the subject matter. Despite the weighty themes of misinformation and media failures, the book provides an optimistic outlook, suggesting that the present crisis also encompasses an opportunity for reform and innovation in journalism. The critiques against current media systems do not merely lament the status quo but instead ignite a conversation about actionable change that could revive public trust and democratic engagement. Overall, "Democracy Without Journalism?" stands as a necessary read for those interested in both media and democratic integrity, offering a thorough exploration of the challenges at hand while inspiring a vision for a more accountable and beneficial journalism landscape. **
