Description
Journalism today is moving faster than ever before. With web 2.0, blogging, huge media conglomerates, 24-hour news-networks, and tight legal frameworks, this introduction investigates the role of journalism in the digital age.

This captivating guide explains the history of journalism, its everyday workings, and the ethical dilemmas that modern journalists face.
