| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The current book was created in response to the ongoing interest in journalism. In-depth storytelling is a fundamental requirement of journalism. Even before the Internet, many publications would cut long articles. They did it by imitating what television news did. They have been impacted by the increased cost of newsprint and the renewed focus on cost-cutting. They are confident that readers are hurried, impatient with minutiae, and conditioned to consume news in pellet-like form. The vast majority of televised news is reported in a different meaning than journalism. The two-minute wire service radio report, a rapidly vanishing format that airs on the hour, serves as its exemplar. The book has integrated the findings and laid out the fundamentals of good journalism for those working in the field as well as those who depend on a free press as a cornerstone of democracy in this sharp and well-presented work. The responsibility of journalism to the truth is the first and most important of these principles. Students, teachers, mass communicators, theorists, and practitioners all benefit significantly from it. Something that is practical right now, a reliable guide for the future, and a cherished relic forever. A must-read book that is enduring and durable. |
