[news] New Documentary Fills Void Left by Failure of Journalism

[Resist!ca]

by Robert Jensen; September 13, 2004 - Znet   I'm a former full-time journalist turned journalism professor. I continue to commit occasional acts of journalism, and I retain a deep affection for, and commitment to, the craft and its ideals. That's why it pains me to say this: The performance of the U.S. corporate commercial news media after 9/11 has been the most profound and dangerous failure of journalism in my lifetime. That's the bad news. The good news is that the void is being filled by other institutions, including the Media Education Foundation with its new documentary, "Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear & the Selling of American Empire."
