“Listen: Billy Pilgrim has become unstuck in time.”

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., Slaughterhouse-Five

This book started in London, one stormy Sunday morning in late autumn of 2018, when Mary Savigar at Polity Press approached one of us with the proposal of writing a book on journalism for the new Manifesto series. A lot has happened to each of us in our personal lives, as well as to the world, between that day and when we submitted the final version of this manuscript in the spring of 2021. We alternated fascinating conversations with periods of silence. We supported each other when life got in the way of work by one of us spontaneously taking the lead when the others needed a break. We wrote and edited each other’s words to the point that we could guess each other’s thoughts and finish each other’s sentences. We started this project animated by the diversity of our viewpoints and wrapped it up with a fusion of our ideas. We ended up cherishing the manuscript, but even more our friendship.

Through it all, Mary, Stephanie Homer and Ellen MacDonald-Kramer at Polity Press graced us with outstanding support and unparalleled patience. We could not have hoped for a better editorial team. We are also grateful for the helpful feedback given by the anonymous reviewers solicited by Polity.

Last, but not least, this book would not exist without the countless conversations each of us has had with other scholars, practitioners, sources and members of the public over the past few decades. A lot of what we know and how we think about journalism is the outcome of these conversations. We hope the resulting text does some justice to how much each of you has taught us, and sparks new conversations in return.
