At a time of dazzling technological innovation, he says that what stands to be lost is the fact based reporting that serves as a watchdog over government, holds the powerful accountable, and gives citizens what they need. In a tumultuous new media era, with cutthroat competition and panic over profits, the commitment of the traditional news media to serious news is fading. Should we lose a critical mass of this news, our democracy will weaken and possibly even begin to fail. This book is also a call to arms. Despite the current crisis, there are many hopeful signs, and he closes by looking over the horizon and exploring ways the iron core can be preserved.--From publisher description. 650 0 $a Journalism $x Political aspects $z United States 650 0 $a Journalism $x Economic aspects $z United States 650 0 $a Journalism $x Objectivity $z United States 650 0 $a Journalistic ethics $z United States 650 7 $0 (OCoLC)fst00984052 $2 fast $a Journalism $x Economic aspects 650 7 $0 (OCoLC)fst00984072 $2 fast $a Journalism $x Objectivity 650 7 $0 (OCoLC)fst00984078 $2 fast $a Journalism $x Political aspects 650 7 $0 (OCoLC)fst00984185 $2 fast $a Journalistic ethics 651 7 $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 $2 fast $a United States 710 2 $a Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands. 710 2 $a Annenberg Public Policy Center. 830 0 $a Institutions of American democracy series. 941 $a 1 952 $l URAX314 $d 20170609035547.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F11D09C84CDA11E7A75DCED3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IOCInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
