ENEMIES OF TRUTH
Enemies of Truth offers you the true understanding of what truth is and the consequences that ensue when you walk to defend it. This fine work of art chronicles the most compelling and interesting journalist’s life enshrined with threats, fears, and other dilemmas associated with today’s journalism. In this mind-gripping tale, the author walks you through the ins and outs of darling to report the truth for the sake of the people. Furthermore, the author leaves no stone unturned in revealing how depraved journalists keep tarnishing Zambia’s media, the core problems permeating local media (though most journalists shun to admit them), and how politicians, who take advantage of sloppy media environments, ruin journalists. By far, Enemies of Truth unravels the true foundation of professional journalism, the secretes to a successful journalism career, and what you can do to reach the highest pinnacles of success as a journalist.
