Description: The news media are being transformed in the digital age. Audiences are fragmenting and regrouping, and media economic models are mutating. Older news organizations are shrinking, while new ones are starting up. And social media enable anyone to produce and transmit news. This addition to the What Everyone Needs to Know series explores the past, present, and future of news--from the earliest origins of news through the eras of newspapers, radio, television and the Internet. It addresses a wide range of topics, including myths about the news, partisan press past and present, investigative and advocacy journalism, changing news media business models, non-profit journalism and public media, the impact of new technologies, news media ethics, computer-assisted data journalism, and what to expect next. --Cover.
