Parker book series 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 520 $a "Perhaps no other function of a free press is as important as the watchdog role--its ability to monitor the work of the government. It is easier for politicians to get away with abusing power--wasting public funds and making poor decisions--if the press is not shining its light with what is termed "accountability reporting." This need has become especially clear in recent months, as the American press has come under virulent direct attack for carrying out its watchdog duties. Upending the traditional media narrative that watchdog accountability journalism is in a long, dismaying decline, The Watchdog Still Barks presents a study of how this most important form of journalism came of age in the digital era at American newspapers. Although the American newspaper industry contracted significantly during the 1990s and 2000s, Fordham professor and former CBS News producer Beth Knobel illustrates through empirical data how the amount of deep watchdog reporting on the newspapers' studied front pages generally increased over time despite shrinking circulations, low advertising revenue, and pressure to produce the kind of soft news that plays well on social media. Based on the first content analysis to focus specifically on accountability journalism nationally, The Watchdog Still Barks examines the front pages of nine newspapers located across the United States to paint a broad portrait of how public service journalism has changed since 1991 as the advent of the Internet transformed journalism. This portrait of the modern newspaper industry shows how papers of varying sizes and ownership structures around the country marshaled resources for accountability reporting despite significant financial and technological challenges."--Back cover. 650 0 $a Investigative reporting $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Journalism $x History $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Journalistic ethics $z United States $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Online journalism $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Investigative reporting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00978154 650 7 $a Journalism $x Objectivity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984072 650 7 $a Journalistic ethics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984185 650 7 $a Online journalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01200881 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Donald McGannon Communication Research Center's Everett C.
