We're all afraid of something. But what is it that Americans, collectively, are afraid of (or told to be afraid of)? This book looks at how fear is perpetuated in the United States and offers a compelling argument for why our fears are vital to our survival. The Merchants of Fear takes a unique approach in developing the fundamental argument that despite our nation's emphasis on freedom, Americans often see their freedoms reduced as a reaction to fear. The expressed intention of this book is to examine how fear is used by government officials, big business, and corporate organizations to mold public policy and drive profits for the media. Christopher Catherwood and Joseph DiVanna argue that the use of fear to influence social and economic change is not new. In fact, there is a long history of its use in the United States over the past two hundred years to help effect a particular outcome--so much so that scaremongering is now commonplace and part of our collective psyche. For example, watch Fox News, and if the yelling doesn't get to you, the alarming nature of its messages and news stories are enough to send anyone running for cover. Fear--in all its forms (past and present)--is examined through historical documents to the events and decisions that are affecting Americans today. Corporations, large and small, have successfully used fear to hoodwink consumers into purchasing any number of products, from personal safety items to terrorist insurance. Be afraid. Be very afraid! This is an important new work that every American should read, no matter his or her party affiliation, religion, or age. Timely and relevant in this post-9/11 world, it leaves us with a question that all Americans must ask themselves: "Are we any safer now, or are we simply more aware of being afraid?"

In The Fear Merchants, Secret Agent X finds himself fighting flame demons all across the city. Can he defeat the demons before it is too late? Excerpt: "HIGH UP, on the fourteenth floor of the big warehouse that faced the river, four men stole forward with the swift, silent steps of stalking ghouls. A wide corridor stretched before them, murky with night shadows, and dank with the dampness of neglect. The certainty of their movements as they passed along was grim proof that what they did had been carefully rehearsed. At the corridor's farther end a high window rose."

Former executive editor of The New York Times and one of our most eminent journalists Jill Abramson provides a “valuable and insightful” (The Boston Globe) report on the disruption of the news media over the last decade, as shown via two legacy (The New York Times and The Washington Post) and two upstart (BuzzFeed and VICE) companies as they plow through a revolution that pits old vs. new media. “A marvelous book” (The New York Times Book Review), Merchants of Truth is the groundbreaking and gripping story of the precarious state of the news business. The new digital reality nearly kills two venerable newspapers with an aging readership while creating two media behemoths with a ballooning and fickle audience of millennials. “Abramson provides this deeply reported insider account of an industry fighting for survival. With a keen eye for detail and a willingness to interrogate her own profession, Abramson takes readers into the newsrooms and boardrooms of the legacy newspapers and the digital upstarts that seek to challenge their dominance” (Vanity Fair). We get to know the defenders of the legacy presses as well as the outsized characters who are creating the new speed-driven media competitors. The players include Jeff Bezos and Marty Baron (The Washington Post), Arthur Sulzberger and Dean Baquet (The New York Times), Jonah Peretti (BuzzFeed), and Shane Smith (VICE) as well as their reporters and anxious readers. Merchants of Truth raises crucial questions that concern the well-being of our society. We are facing a crisis in trust that threatens the free press. “One of the best takes yet on journalism’s changing fortunes” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), Abramson’s book points us to the future.
