Karen's Reviews > On Doubt

I have to admit (sheepishly) that I don’t know Leigh Sales’ work all that well; but the moment I read about her incurable stickybeak tendencies, and her lack of faith (How to believe when you can’t know whether it’s true?) I felt we were kindred spirits. On Doubt is Leigh’s defence of the importance of neutrality in journalism. It’s an eloquent manifesto of what, how and why she does it. It is disquieting to notice that, in the 8 years since first publication, things seem to have gone backwards, with fake news and opinionated reports more common than ever.
This edition contains a substantial postscript reflecting on changes to the political and media landscape between 2009 and 2017.
