Add your own review!

Overview

The widespread use of the Internet as a tool for gathering and disseminating information raises questions for journalists (and their readers) about the process of reporting information. This text explores the use of online media by reporters in the United States and examines the impact that usage may have on how journalism is framed in the cultural sphere, as well as how it is conducted in the professional one. It contains a mix of material examining how it feels to do online journalism, how it affects those who consume it, the ways that media scholars try to understand it better, and the cultural impact on the public.
