Recenzje

Lindsay Palmer's book is unique and intriguing because it studies an area hardly understood by journalism and media scholars: perspectives from news 'fixers,' or those who do important support work for international journalists. The book is contemplative and nuanced in presenting fascinating stories about the fixers and how they influence global news on a daily basis. I highly recommend this book for those who are interested in understanding global journalism practices.
