review: Editorial Reviews Review "[Anderson] richly documents the history of the development of an ideology, that of journalistic objectivity, which generated something of a sect embodied in a variety of figures in different historical periods." -- Valeria Burgio, TECNOSCIENZA "...C. W. Anderson's book-length study significantly broadens our perspective on data journalism and the technological, institutional, practical, and intellectual settings that allowed it to emerge and thrive." -- Christian Pentzold, University of Bremen, The International Journal of Press/Politics About the Author C.W.
