"If you wonder, as I often do, why news media diversity in the age of Donald Trump morphed into a contest of competing realities, Killing Journalism will help you to make sense of the nonsense. Award-winning media watchdog Joe Strupp has pulled years of research into a chilling explanation of what went wrong and, more important, useful suggestions for how we news workers and news consumers can make things right."

                              - Clarence Page, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist, Chicago Tribune

"Donald Trump has been a media ringmaster since his early days as a New York businessman. In 'Killing Journalism,' Joe Strupp offers a keen eye and sharp perspective on the cascade of changes in America's media landscape since Trump first made his mark with the New York tabloids. From legacy newspapers to upstate social media sites, he offers a compelling narrative on the state of journalism today, with lessons for all of us in the media moving ahead."

                              - Steve Scully, C-SPAN political editor, host, Washington Journal

"An important new book about the precarious state of journalism in the modern era of audience-targeted corporate media."

                              - Michael Harrison, Talkers magazine editor

"Joe Strupp has been giving us tough and penetrating coverage of the news media since the '90s, and he has now shaken off the constraints of quick-turn analysis to produce a sweeping and sobering look at these decades of decline, along with a thoughtful look at the civic harm that decline continues to cause. If you want a thoroughly reported, one-stop chronicle of why we don't have the news media we need, this is it."

                             - Edward Wasserman, University of California Graduate School of Journalism dean.

"Joe Strupp, a respected reporter on the nation's news media, has produced a fascinating look at the landscape today. It's sobering - chronicling partisan attacks on the credibility of mainstream media and the economic forces that have led to smaller newsrooms and less coverage of important issues. But it also offers hope, particularly from the rise of strong non-profit outlets."

                              - Clark Hoyt, Pulitzer Prize-winning former Knight Ridder Washington editor 

"Joe Strupp is a professional media journalist with an observing eye, a passion for reporting, and the knowledge and connections to make a positive difference. We worked together when Joe was a media reporter for Editor & Publisher, and my experience with Joe remains a personal highlight."
