Encyclopedia of Journalism
Journalism permeates our lives and shapes our thoughts in ways we’ve long taken for granted Whether we listen to National Public Radio in the morning, view the lead story on the Today show, read the morning newspaper headlines, stay up-to-the-minute with Internet news, browse grocery store tabloids, receive Time magazine in our mailbox, or watch the nightly news on television, journalism pervades our daily activities The six-volume Encyclopedia of Journalism covers all significant dimensions of journalism, including print, broadcast, and Internet journalism; U S and international perspectives; history; technology; legal issues and court cases; ownership; and economics
