In their 2010 book The Death and Life of American Journalism, Robert W. McChesney and John Nichols argue that compromises and corruption are destroying American journalism's "old order."

"The era of commercial news media is ending and a new system of independent journalism must be created and subsidized by the public if democracy is to survive and prosper."
Robert W. McChesney and John Nichols are dedicated to the transformative, democratizing power of journalism not as it is, but as it should be
