About this book
Reviews
“A working democracy needs a strong, working press. Nick Sharman’s rich analysis of the often timid and compromised press coverage of the (in)famous Chicago ’68 Conspiracy Trial, reveals the political price a democratic citizenry pays when the media’s pro-establishment bias—or its bottom line imperatives—triumph over honest, tough-minded journalism.” (David Farber, Author of Chicago ’68 (1994) and the Roy A. Roberts Distinguished Professor, University of Kansas, USA)
“This is a fascinating and important book. The media shape our perceptions of important social struggles and their participants. In the universe of media, The New York Times has historically influenced official and quasi-official views. Nick Sharman has carefully and eloquently showed us how the Times coverage of the Chicago Conspiracy Trial developed and changed. On a personal note, it is refreshing to read a careful and thoughtful treatment of matters in which I was engaged.” (Michael Tigar, Lawyer, writer, law professor)
