Chapters evaluate the search for principles, accountability, truth and objectivity, errors and corrections, diversity, "faking" the news, reporters and their sources, privacy, the government watch, deception, compassion, the business of news, journalists and their communities, and financial concerns.

New to this edition: a chapter on improving coverage of minorities, expanded discussion of broadcast journalism and reporting on the Internet, and stories from recent front pages and TV news programs."--BOOK JACKET.
