The New News offers an approachable, practical guide to the
21st-century newsroom, equipping journalists with the skills needed to
work expertly, accurately, and efficiently across multiple media
platforms.
Emphasizing the importance of verification and authentication, the book
shows how journalists adapt traditional practices of
information-gathering, observation, interviewing, and newswriting for
online publications. The text includes comprehensive coverage of key
digital and multimedia competencies - capturing multimedia content,
"doing" data journalism, mobile reporting, working in teams,
participating with global audiences, and building a personal brand.
Features developed exclusively for this book include innovative visuals
showing the multimedia news structures and workflows used in modern
newsrooms; interviews with prominent journalists about their experiences
in contemporary journalism; a glossary of up-to-date terms relevant to
online journalism; and practical exercises and activities for classroom
use, as well as additional downloadable online instructor materials.
The New News provides excellent resources to help journalism students
and early-career professionals succeed in today's digital networked news
industry.
The authors are donating all royalties to nonprofit LION's programs to
