The book offers insights into: - what journalism is - how education makes the journalist and, therefore, the news - models of journalism taught and practised across the globe - the ethical implications of the process. When news reporting can lead to decisions on whether or not to got to war, everything can be affected by journalists and their mediation of the world.
