Rezensionen

`Incisive regarding problems we all face with the increasingly quickening pace of news reporting and its dissemination'- International Affairs `[The book] should be applauded for promoting the importance of news agency studies, not only in the context of the relatively recent preoccupation with globalization, but also in the face of long-term neglect across media studies in general.... an invaluable resource' - European Journal of Communication
