Live! Breaking story! Up-to-the-minute coverage! We hear these teasers every day. But do they always guide us to real news?
Seib (journalism, Marquette University) warns of the dangers of trivialized news and shoddy ethics. He assesses the current state of journalism and considers the future of the profession, while offering advice on understanding the news we see. Specific chapters focus on the impact of live coverage, the effect of recent technological changes on print media, and ethics. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
