Airhead: The Imperfect Art of Making News

Product Information

Emily Maitlis was born in Canada and raised in Sheffield. After graduating from Cambridge she worked as a journalist in Hong Kong, then returned to the UK for a stint at Sky News before joining the BBC in 2001. She started on Newsnight in 2006, became lead anchor in 2018 and the now-infamous Prince Andrew interview the following year. In February Maitlis announced she’s leaving the BBC to co-host a daily podcast for Global. Her eight-part documentary series The People Vs J Edgar Hoover starts on BBC Radio 4 on 13 June. Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall – three of the UK’s top journalists – host a daily news podcast: The News Agents. Lustlik ja intrigeeriv kogumik BBC teleajakirjaniku lugusid kohtumisest maailmakuulsate poliitikute, meelelahutajate ja muidu staaridega. Raamatu juhtmõte on see, et teleuudised (ma ise arvan küll, et ajakirjandus laiemalt) on ebatäiuslik kunst. Tihtilugu otsitakse eri ebaõnnestumiste tagant - miks ei ole üht või teist küsimust küsitud või miks on eetrisse läinud kummaline sõnavõtt või miks miski on loost välja jäänud - vanenõusid. Enamasti on vastus palju lihtsam: shit happens. Teleajakirjanik peab eetris välja puterdatud sõnadest ja muudest lollustest hoolimata järgmisel päeval uuesti ärkama ja elu edasi elama. Sellest poolest Maitlis väga põhjalikult ei rääkinud, pigem oli see anekdootlike seikade kogumik. Väga hea ajaviitekirjandus.

Book Emily Maitlis - Contact speaker agent - JLA Book Emily Maitlis - Contact speaker agent - JLA

I use the word autobiography reluctantly, as it’s not a compendium encapsulating her childhood and personal trials, but rather a polished set of professional anecdotes and tales from her journalistic journey. Each chapter contains a more insightful and intriguing story than the other in this bound bundle of joy.

It's a brilliant, often funny, behind-the-scenes account of her working life, written by one of Britain's best television broadcasters. It proves she's far from an airhead! * John Craven * Similarly, there is irritation and upset that the interview and events leading up to it have been monetised. Emily Maitlis is one of my favourite interviewers and I want to read her tales of interviewing people such as Donald Trump, Theresa May and Simon Cowell * Catriona Shearer, Sunday Mail *
