Memoir of a Citizen & Reporter in the Irving Press
This book is a love letter to the free press. It is my personal memoir as a citizen and reporter which calls for a healthier New Brunswick free press—one that is more diverse, competitive, independent, and feisty.
Wires Crossed takes us through numerous examples of the perils of a wires-crossed relationship, notably in New Brunswick but also to an increasing extent across North America.

A moving and informative set of reminiscences by a seasoned journalist that shines much needed light on the single story that dominates the state of New Brunswick’s media ... Passionately and persuasively written, it is at once testament, indictment, and lament. -William L. Randall, Professor of Gerontology, St. Thomas University “…Julian Walker’s book shines an important light on how New Brunswick is ill served by a stifling media concentration. Part personal memoir, part political and journalistic history, always entertaining and insightful, it is first and foremost a love story for the fourth estate and a rallying cry to preserve its integrity across this country and beyond.” -Mary McKenna, PhD, Assistant Dean, University of New Brunswick |
About Wires Crossed
|
...Crossed Wires is a balanced examination of a controversial symbiosis — corporate power and media control, an issue with resonance across Canada now, as newspaper ownership is increasingly concentrated in a few large corporations. Julian Walker draws on a career as journalist, political insider, senior bureaucrat and academic for this vivid account of what can happen in society when a single corporate player acquires a dominant position in public life by owning and controlling the voice of the community.
-Linden MacIntyre, long-time journalist, CBC’s Fifth Estate, best-selling novelist |
