Jones explores how the epochal changes sweeping the media have eroded the core news that has been the essential food supply of our democracy. At a time of dazzling technological innovation, Jones 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 Jones closes by looking over the horizon and exploring ways the iron core can be preserved.--From publisher description. 505 0 $a The iron core -- Media and democracy -- The fragile First Amendment -- Objectivity's last stand -- Media ethics- the painful balance -- The curious story of news -- Newspapers on the brink -- The new news media -- Saving the news. 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. 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 14 952 $l OUAX845 $d 20240816043011.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724064126.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214025503.0 952 $l N2AX314 $d 20210728015056.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722023055.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119044031.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926091356.0 952 $l URAX314 $d 20170609035549.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825033147.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20101109055854.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20100201083435.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20100120073657.0 952 $l UDAX314 $d 20100120073657.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20100201083435.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AE63A670FBCD11DEB3E93EDF5F36B428 994 $a 02 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
