Title: A Nation's Paper: The Globe and Mail in the Life of Canada Author: John Ibbitson Narrator: Sterling Jarvis, Emily Nixon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 52 minutes Release date: October 15, 2024 Genres: Language Instruction Publisher's Summary: From Canada's newspaper of record for 180 years, here are thirty-one brilliant and provocative essays by a diverse selection of their writers on how The Globe and Mail covered and influenced major events and issues from the paper’s founding to the latest file. Since 1844, the Globe and Mail and its predecessor, George Brown’s Globe, have chronicled Canada: as a colony, a dominion, and a nation. To mark the paper’s 180th anniversary, Globe writers explored thirty issues and events in which the national newspaper has influenced the course of the country: Confederation, settler migrations, regional tensions, tussles over language, religion, and race. The essays reveal a tapestry of progress, conflict, and still-incomplete reconciliation: Catholic-Protestant hostilities that are now mostly the stuff of memory; the betrayal of Indigenous peoples with which we still grapple; the frustrations and triumphs of women journalists; pandemics old and new; environmental challenges; the joys of covering sports and the arts; chronicling the nation’s business, international coverage, the impossibility of Canada and of this newspaper, which both somehow flourish nonetheless. Riveting, insightful, disturbing, witty, and always a joy to read, A Nation’s Paper chronicles a country and a newspaper that have grown and struggled together – essential reading for anyone who wants to understand where we came from and where we are going. The Globe and Mail will donate all its proceeds from the sale of this audiobook to Journalists for Human Rights.

Paper of Wreckage: An Oral History of the New York Post, 1976-2024 by Frank Digiacomo, Susan Mulcahy

Title: Paper of Wreckage: An Oral History of the New York Post, 1976-2024 Author: Frank Digiacomo, Susan Mulcahy Narrator: Eric Yang, Jade Wheeler, Amanda Dolan, Kevin R. Free, Leon Nixon, Carlotta Brentan, Sean Patrick Hopkins, Cassandra Campbell, Fred Sanders Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 24 hours 48 minutes Release date: October 8, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Language Instruction Publisher's Summary: A jaw-dropping and unputdownable oral history of the New York Post and the legendary tabloid’s cultural impact from the 1970s to today as recounted by the men and women who witnessed it firsthand. By the 1970s, the country’s oldest continuously published newspaper had fallen on hard times, just like its nearly bankrupt hometown. When the New York Post was sold to a largely unknown Australian named Rupert Murdoch in 1976, staffers hoped it would be the start of a new golden age for the paper. Now, after the nearly fifty years Murdoch has owned the tabloid, American culture reflects what Murdoch first started in the 1970s: a celebrity-focused, noisy, one-sided media empire that reached its zenith with Fox News. Drawing on extensive interviews with key players and in-depth research, this eye-opening, wildly entertaining oral history shows us how we got to this point. It’s a rollicking tale full of bad behavior, inflated egos, and a corporate culture that rewarded skirting the rules and breaking norms. But working there was never boring and now, you can discover the entire remarkable true story of America’s favorite tabloid newspaper.
