Knightfall: Knight Ridder And How The Erosion Of Newspaper Journalism Is Putting Democracy At Risk Davis Merritt 
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars Rank: 1037 (Spokane, WA) March 24, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars In the interest of full disclosure, I need to explain that I worked for the author, Buzz Merritt, for 13 years at the Wichita Eagle. I have immense personal and professional respect for Buzz and I am grateful for all the lessons I learned while working as an editor in his newsroom. This new book is a must read for anyone who has ever worked for Buzz, but more important, it's an instructive and revealing book for anyone interested in the state of America newspapering. Anyone who assumes the book is an indictment or critique of the present Knight Ridder corporate leadership will be missing this point. Buzz' point in this book is that democracy suffers when newspapers place excessive profits about their duty to engage citizens and readers in the rigorous debate of civic life. Knight Ridder is hardly the only newspaper company that has pushed profits dramatically upward while putting quality journalism at risk. It just happens to be the company that Buzz knows best.
