Postjournalism and the Death of Newspapers may be the most profound analysis of the subject since the last time Marshall McLuhan wrote about it. Mir describes a universe in which the news now chases the reader rather than the other way around. Everything is told in a wonderful epigrammatic style - you will be digging up quotes from it for years. - Martin Gurri, author of The Revolt of the Public.

The most important book in media theory that has been written in 40 years. - Paul Levinson, author of Digital McLuhan.

Andrey Mir's Postjournalism offers a powerful, sweeping narrative of how news media have evolved over the centuries. - Arnold Kling, economist, author of Crisis of Abundance and Invisible Wealth.

In his book Postjournalism and the Death of Newspapers, Mir is here partly to praise newspapers, partly to bury them, but mostly to explain why their death is (a) inevitable and (b) a very big deal. He communicates this with a history of news media and a blizzard of concepts and neologisms. - Danyl Mclauchlan, The Spinoff, New Zealand.

As Mir argues, this change in the economic structure of the news media has quietly transformed journalism from a theoretically neutral means of manufacturing consent into a political cause that people are rallied into supporting, usually by inciting them to some form of outrage. - Murtaza Hussain, The Intercept.

You might have heard about postjournalism. This is the book that introduced the concept of postjournalism in 2020.
