There is a story that no one in the media seems to be willing to tell. It is one in which many journalists have a vested interest: the death of newspapers, traditionally the form known to break the biggest headlines, to chase the rumours to their source, and to undertake the most in-depth reporting. A unique insider's account of the rise and slow decline of print, this insightful, passionate book investigates one of the most fundamental transitions in the Australian media today.

Industry Reviews

"Buchanan wishes newspaper proprietors to be more than palliative care workers tending the dying patient. She wants what journalists do valued before it's too late and news items are just bubbles on the surface of the blogosphere. Bravo to that."
--Australian Financial Review

"A fascinating history...telling the stories of the many people who have dedicated their lives to making newspapers."
--Books+Publishing

"As good a take as you'll get on the decline of newspapers and why it should matter to you."
--Christchurch Press

"A brave book about the dramatic changes to newspapers and publishing."
--Herald Sun

"Stop Press reports back on what it feels like to be inside the belly of a dying beast...This is not just an elegy for print journalism but for the whole process of making and distributing newspapers."
--Fiona Capp, The Saturday Age

"The unfolding collapse of the great city newspaper business model is a commercial and civic tragedy. But, as Rachel Buchanan reveals, it's also a human tragedy that is upending the professional lives of too many fine people."
--Eric Beecher
