Description
Journalism in the 21st century is marked by a paradox: more journalism than ever before, yet under increasing scrutiny. This has led to concerns that the industry has lost its moral bearings, prioritizing investment returns over reporting and analysis.
In this thought-provoking introduction, Ian Hargreaves examines the world of contemporary journalism, exploring how technology has impacted reporting, the development of online entertainment journalism, and the impact of the international financial crisis on the industry. He also considers major issues related to reportage, warfare, celebrity culture, privacy, and technology worldwide.
With its expert analysis and perspective, this book provides a concise overview of the complex issues facing modern journalism, making it an ideal introduction for those looking to understand the subject in depth.
