Encyclopedia of Journalism

Journalism permeates our lives and shapes our thoughts in ways we've long taken for granted. Whether it's National Public Radio in the morning, the lead story on the Today show, the morning newspaper headlines, up-to-the-minute Internet news, grocery store tabloids, Time magazine in our mailbox, or the nightly news on television, journalism is woven throughout our day. The six-volume Encyclopedia of Journalism will cover all significant dimensions of journalism, including print, broadcast, and Internet journalism; U.S. and international perspectives; and history, technology, legal issues and court cases, ownership, and economics. The set contains more than 350 signed entries under the direction of leading journalism scholar Christopher H. Sterling of George Washington University. Experts in various subfields will serve as co-editors, and both scholars and journalists will contribute articles.Key Themes Biography British Journalism Consumers/Audience Criticism and Education Economics Ethnic/Minority Journalism General Internet Issues Journalist Organizations Law and Policy Magazine Types Motion Pictures Networks News Agencies/Services News Content Categories/Types News Media: Foreign News Media: U.S. News Program Types Newspaper Types Political Communications Processes/Routines of Journalism Radio/Television Technology
