6/1/2023 0 Comments Hidden Agendas by John Pilger![]() For this reason, Hidden Agendas belongs to what Pilger sees as the dying or dead arena of investigative journalism.Ī large section of the book is dedicated to "The Rise and Fall of Popular Journalism". Pilger not only conveys the political and social predicaments of the exploited and censored, but also places these people and their struggles in the context of the agendas of the powerful and profit-hungry that impact upon millions of unseen and little-considered lives of ordinary people. Hidden Agendas takes the reader behind the political facades of Myanmar, Indonesia and East Timor, England's "New Labour" and Thatcher's Britain, Australia's perceived identity, Cambodia, the arms trade, the world media, the "globalised" economy and the "new" South Africa under Nelson Mandela. John Pilger has dedicated his life's work to these strugglers, and his latest book continues in the powerful tradition of books like A Secret Country, reporting and analysing events and battles that are still being fought out. Hidden Agendas is a tribute to some of the strugglers against oppression, violence, greed and imperialism. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In an age of escalating social problems, few are even properly acknowledged. ![]()
