We are living through the greatest communication revolution since Gutenberg. In Breaking News Alan Rusbridger offers an open, personal and agenda-setting account of how we arrived at the news world of today.

The President of the United States regularly lies to the public and accuses anyone who criticises him of being fake. Politicians openly rubbish the views of 'so called experts', dissemble and mislead. So how do we hold those in power accountable? Fox News, Breitbart Media and the Murdoch papers peddle views not news, pushing politically motivated agendas. So, where can we look for reliable, verifiable sources of news and information? What does it mean for democracy? And what will the future hold?

Reflecting on his 20 years as editor of the Guardian and his experience of breaking some of the most significant news stories of our time, including the Edward Snowden revelations, phone hacking, wikileaks and the Keep in the Ground campaign, Rusbridger answers these questions and offers a stirring defence of why quality journalism matters now more than ever.

This is a brilliant book. It gives an outstanding insight into the challenges that journalism faced, and continues to face, as the internet and social media continue to change the way we interact with and consume news. Alan’s discussion around the Snowden affair was extremely interesting, as was his treatment of many of the other issues he faced as editor of the Guardian. I whole-heartedly agree with his conclusion that good journalism is our best antidote to the fake news epidemic.
