News Zero

This audiobook explores how The New York Times played a pivotal role in shaping public perceptions of nuclear technology during the early atomic age, focusing on the journal's strategic omission of information about radiation and radioactivity. Through a historical case study, it examines the ways in which media coverage contributed to the acceptance of nuclear weapons and kept critical dangers from public awareness for decades. The story highlights the impact of "News Zero," a term used by the author to describe the media's silence on vital aspects of nuclear science.
