Journalism educators who have been struggling to understand media convergence, its impact on the profession, and what to teach students so they can work in this new world, can now rest easier. Janet Kolodzy's Convergence Journalism: Writing and Reporting across the News Media does an outstanding job of explaining why and how journalists should offer news in a variety of ways to reach the widest audience possible. But it doesn't skimp on the basics, either, covering the importance of sourcing, interviewing, research, writing, and visuals, among other things, in a lively, fresh, and engaging way. Instead of having to cobble together materials from different print, broadcast, and online texts, educators now can use Kolodzy's book, which makes an important contribution to journalism education in general, and convergence journalism specifically.--Laura Casta eda
