A timely new edition of the classic journalism text, now featuring updated material on the importance of reporting in the age of media mistrust and fake news-and how journalists can use technology to navigate its challengesMore than two decades ago, the Committee of Concerned Journalists gathered some of Americas most influential newspeople and asked them, What is journalism for? Through exhaustive research, surveys, interviews, and public forums, the committee identified the essential elements that define journalism and its role in our society.
