Why read it?
1 author picked Metrics at Work as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I had the privilege of talking with Angèle at an event and discussing our different book projects.

We tend to think that every newsroom engages with technology in the same way, but Angèle shows that long-standing national journalistic cultures influence how technologies are adopted and used.
The book is also an ethnography, which means that it offers a wonderful insight into the day-to-day practices of the newsroom.
From James' list on news and the impact of technology.
