July 2013 | 256 pages | CQ Press
Featuring a new code of ethics for journalists and essays by 14 journalism thought leaders and practitioners, this authoritative, practical book examines the new pressures brought to bear on journalism by technology and changing audience habits. It offers a new framework for making critical moral choices, as well as case studies that reinforce the concepts and principles rising to prominence in 21st century communication. The book addresses the unique problems facing journalism today, including how we arrive at truth in an era of abundant and unverified information; the evolution of new business models and partnerships; the presence of journalists on independent social media platforms; the role of diversity; the meaning of stories; the value of images; and the role of community in the production of journalism.

This book is a great teaching resource because of its easy-to-read style, but also because it is rich in examples and case studies. The books will be a valuable resource for both lectures and seminars.

It superficially looks good but I haven't assigned chapters yet to read. I will need a bit more time, thanks.
