This book reveals that "fixers"-local experts on whom foreign correspondents rely-play a much more significant role in international television newsgathering than has been documented or understood. "The book throws light on a little researched area of foreign reporting... As a former journalist-turned-academic Murrell brings to the book an intimate knowledge of the ways and means of news gathering."Yoel Cohen, Ariel University, Israel, Communication Trends "Colleen Murrell thoroughly and thoughtfully addresses the role of the 'fixer,' an integral player in international news coverage whose work does much to shape how global news audiences see the world."
