Two new PCIJ books on the media

The Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism will launch two new books on August 18, 9:30 a.m. at the Ateneo Professional Schools at Rockwell, Makati.

News for Sale: The Corruption and Commercialization of the Philippine Media by Chay Florentino Hofileña documents bribe-giving and other forms of wrongdoing in the press, focusing on the new forms of corruption that emerged in the coverage of the 2004 elections. The book also looks at how the lifting of the ban on political has affected under-the-table payoffs to journalists. It also shows how political advertising provided radio networks a front for institutionalizing corruption.

The second book, Cockfight, Horserace, Boxing Match (Why Elections are Covered as Sport), explains why election coverage is superficial, personality-oriented, and focused on conflict. Authored by the PCIJ's Sheila S. Coronel, the book also looks at the factors that influence the direction of election reporting, including the bias of media owners, the manipulation by the media bureaus of campaign organizations, and the drive for ratings and sales.
