The Changing Faces of Journalism Tabloidization, Technology and Truthiness [Paperback]

The collection is introduced with an essay by Barbie Zelizer and organized into three sections: how tabloidization affects the journalistic landscape; how technology changes what we think we know about journalism; and how truthiness tweaks our understanding of the journalistic tradition.
