  • Breaking

    £20.00

    From those who own the news to the BBC, the intricacies of political journalism to the trade’s ethics, ‘Breaking’ strips back the engine of information, entertainment and propaganda back to its constituent parts and lays it bare. In this informative and engaging deep-dive into the way we receive and understand the news, journalist Mic Wright shows how our news media functions and, ultimately, how it is fundamentally flawed. Armed with this comprehensive and truthful look at the media machine, the reader will be equipped with the tools to better understand the news as it is given, and separate the fair from the ethically dubious, and, more importantly, the truths from the half-truths (and the down-right lies).

  • The message

    £18.99

    With his bestseller, ‘Between the World and Me’, Ta-Nehisi Coates established himself as a unique voice in his generation of American authors; a brilliant writer and thinker in the tradition of James Baldwin. In his keenly anticipated new book, ‘The Message’, he explores the urgent question of how our stories – our reporting, imaginative narratives and mythmaking – both expose and distort our realities. Travelling to three resonant sites of conflict, he illuminates how the stories we tell – as well as the ones we don’t – work to shape us.
