About this audiobook
A volume in a series called “The Library of Contemporary Thought”—which provides top opinion makers a forum to explore the most provocative, fascinating, and relevant issues of the day—News Is a Verb focuses on contemporary journalism and its evolving readership. From sensational headlines to celebrity gossip, Pete Hamill explores how the critical relationship of reader to newspaper is being slowly undermined. Hamill, a newspaperman whose career spanned four decades and who was the editor-in-chief of the New York Daily News, gives a powerful critique of journalism at the end of the 20th century.
