Television and radio could never rival newspapers for hard news, analysis and opinion, and the papers' brand of serious journalism was considered a crucial part of life in a democratic country. Then came the Internet...\u003cbr\u003e     After decades as a \u003ci\u003eGlobe\u003c\/i\u003e journalist, foreign bureau chief and then editor of its \u003ci\u003eReport on Business\u003c\/i\u003e (not to mention former Scarborough delivery boy), he assumed one of the biggest jobs in Canadian journalism: \u003ci\u003eThe Globe and Mail\u003c\/i\u003e's editor-in-chief. Beginning in 2009, he faced the unthinkable: the possible end of not just Canada's \"national\" newspaper, but the steep and steady financial decline of newspapers everywhere. A non-stop torrent of free digital content stole advertisers and devalued advertising space so quickly that newspapers struggled to finance the serious journalism that distinguished them in a world of \u003ci\u003eBuzzfeed\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHuffington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eYahoo\u003c\/i\u003e and innumerable bloggers and citizen journalists. Meanwhile, ambitious online media aspired to the credibility of newspapers. The solution was clear, if the path to arriving at it was less so: the new school needed to meet the old school, and the future lay in undiscovered ground between them.\u003cbr\u003e     Having led the \u003ci\u003eGlobe\u003c\/i\u003e during this period of sudden and radical change, Stackhouse continues to champion the vital role of great reporting and analysis. Filled with stories from his three decades in the business, \u003ci\u003eMass Disruption\u003c\/i\u003e tracks decisions good and bad, examines how some of the world's major newspapers--the \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e--are learning to cope, and lays out strategies for the future, of both newspapers and serious journalism, wherever it may live.","brand":"Random House Canada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44216666816767,"sku":"9780345815835","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780345815835_s600x595.jpg?v=1782148315","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780345815835","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
