Offering a wide-ranging introduction to journalism and combining the experience and advice of practising journalists with insights gained by the academic study of journalism, Journalism: Principles and Practice:
- relates theory to practice throughout
- spans print, broadcasting and online journalism
- includes sections on news, features, sources, interviewing, and ethics
- includes a Style Guide for Journalists and a list of useful websites
In addition to explaining `how to do' journalism, each chapter introduces a range of more theoretical concepts designed to encourage reflective practice. However, it also uses the perspective of practitioners to question media theory.
