The business of journalism has an extensive, storied, and often
romanticized history. Newspaper reporting has long shaped the way
that we see the world, played key roles in exposing scandals, and
has even been alleged to influence international policy. The past
several years have seen the newspaper industry in a state of
crisis, with Twitter and Facebook ushering in the rise of citizen
journalism and a deprofessionalization of the industry, plummeting
readership and revenue, and municipal and regional papers
shuttering or being absorbed into corporate behemoths. Now
billionaires, most with no journalism experience but lots of power
and strong views, are stepping in to purchase newspapers, both
large and small. This addition to the What Everyone Needs to Know
(R) series looks at the past, present and future of journalism,
considering how the development of the industry has shaped the
present and how we can expect the future to roll out. It addresses
a wide range of questions, from whether objectivity was only a
conceit of late twentieth century reporting, largely behind us now;
how digital technology has disrupted journalism; whether newspapers
are already dead to the role of non-profit journalism; the meaning
of "transparency" in reporting; the way that private interests and
governments have created their own advocacy journalism; whether
social media is changing journalism; the new social rules of old
media outlets; how franchised media is addressing the problem of
disappearing local papers; and the rise of citizen journalism and
hacker journalism. It will even look at the ways in which new
technologies potentially threaten to replace journalists.
