THE STRINGER
Εκδότης NBM , ISBN 9781681122724
Suffering from budget cuts, layoffs and a growing suspicion that his
search for the truth has become obsolete, veteran war correspondent
Mark Scribner is about to throw in the towel on journalism when he
discovers that his hard-earned knowledge can save his career and make
him wealthy and famous. All he has to do is pivot to social media and -
with a few cynical twists - abandon everything he cares about most.
A paean to when fact-based journalism mattered, THE STRINGER, set at
an important turning point a few years ago, is a globe-trotting action-
packed timely statement about how a society without a vibrant
independent culture of reporting can degenerate into chaos and a
warning of the dangers of sophisticated new technologies that enable
the manufacture and modification of 'truths' with no basis in fact.
