Reviews

"I highly recommend this edited collection for any course that introduces students to the role of journalism in society, or one that surveys the field as a way of preparing graduate studies for research in journalism. It is an impressive collection!students should be told that this is one book they should keep for future reference. All of us in journalism should do so." - Summer 2010 issue of American Journalism
