Journalism
Offering a unique view of the way journalism is both practiced and taught, this book is divided into four section: core values in journalism; specialisation within the craft; the constraints of practice and implications for the future. It covers areas including: gender and identity in the popular press; sports journalism; urban reporting; embedded journalism; censorship; and alternative media.
This book is essential reading for students of journalism and all those considering a career in the field.
Too focused on the current situation in India to make required reading, although still very valuable as an introduction to such a major global market and for comparisons between international markets and professional values and practices
