The Menace Of Media Speed And The 24-Hour News Cycle

In the 24-hour news cycle of the digital era, media outlets struggle to break news first and faster than their competitors. The permanent race for information often leaves stories under-reported and rife with mistakes. Larry Mantle talks with Pulitzer Prize winner and former television critic for the Los Angeles Times, Howard Rosenberg, and investigative journalist and media consultant Charles Feldman about their new book, "No Time To Think: The Menace of Media Speed and the 24-hour News Cycle." Rosenberg and Feldman give anecdotes in their new book of mistakes made in fast reporting that caused a ripple effect of misinformation in media.
