The business of journalism

"In recent years the nature of American journalism - and the press's role in everyday life - has dramatically changed. In The Business of Journalism, ten leading reporters and editors speak for-the-record about the changes they've seen and the effects such changes have wrought.

These seasoned journalists tackle such pressing issues as how the press lost the public trust; increasing concentration of ownership in the media business and its consequences for freedom of the press; the ongoing struggle to integrate America's newsrooms; and the pressures on smaller, independent newspapers."--BOOK JACKET.
