Despite the gloomy pronouncements about the future of the media,
many opportunities exist at this crossroads toward a new and
perhaps better form of communications. This book collects the work
of some of the finest minds who want to make the media better
rather than to focus on the good old days of the mavens telling the
public what it should know. The media remain important in today s
society, although the media are changing rapidly driven by a desire
for readers and viewers to play a more significant role in the
information they receive. Multimedia endeavors have pushed aside
the narrow thinking of many legacy institutions, which have failed
to adapt to the changing landscape. This collection looks at the
historical and theoretical nature of the media, but it also looks
ahead at the new map the media must follow to thrive. The analyses
include those from academics, practitioners, and young media
professionals who will shape the future. As legacy media
institutions fail, other media outlets take their place from
community organizations and the ethnic press to social media such
as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Moreover, this book provides
analysis of investigative journalism, media criticism, sports,
wireless technologies, and other aspects of the current and future
media environment. Christopher Harper serves as the co-director of
the Multimedia Urban Reporting Lab at Temple University. The
program is the capstone course for all undergraduate journalism
majors in which they cover undeserved and underreported
neighborhoods in Philadelphia at www.philadelphianeighborhoods.com.
Harper has written and edited four books dealing with multimedia
journalism, a subject that he has taught for 15 years. He also
spent more than 20 years in the media as an editor, reporter, and
producer for the Associated Press, Newsweek, and ABC News in
Chicago, Washington, Beirut, Cairo, Rome, and New York.
