Every-helpful David Carr at
NYT just posted on site a look at upcoming book sure to raise temperatures. Meanwhile, the
Journal has launched a new multi-media ad campaign (see video below) asking people to take a new look at the paper beyond "the chatter." Here is Carr's lede on the book:
Get ready for another media parlor game, this one pivoting around “War at The Wall Street Journal: Inside the Struggle to Control an American Business Empire.” The book, by former Journal media writer Sarah Ellison is a scrupulously fair, careful account written from a close distance about how Rupert Murdoch came to own the crown jewel of American business journalism.
The back flap of the advanced copy - the book is scheduled to come out May 12 - has a lurid come-on: “Set in the highest echelon of the media, this saga of an American institution under siege is a bonfire of barbarians and boldface names.”
