Monitor Channel: Rise and Fall Analysis - News Monitoring Industry Insights | Media Business Case Study for Entrepreneurs & Journalists" (使用场景: Perfect for media professionals, business analysts, and journalism students researching industry trends and media business failures)

A solid overview and a genuine effort at objective analysis (even though the author was employed by the organization she is studying). Possibly the most interesting part is Bridge's comparison of Monitor Channel start-up costs to CNN start-up costs -- and that the comparison is favorable to the Monitor. Is the book perfect? No. But it is a far-cry better than other assessments of this important chapter in the life of a great American newspaper.Perhaps a general reader will find this book most useful in its depiction of an early, major effort to grapple with the rise of cable news and to escape the financial crisis that threatened(s) the entire newspaper industry.
