Description: Like the authors' classic book The Elements of Journalism, Blur is a unique and readable discourse on how the information culture is changing. Just as important, it provides a road map for all citizens to navigate that culture by revealing the tradecraft great journalists have used to sift rumor from fact and access the truth. In an age when the line between citizen and journalist is becoming increasingly blurred, Blur is an indispensable guide.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [211]-218) and index.
