Have you wondered just who is giving you the news and if the news is really the news? In this book, you will explore the integrity and responsibility of journalism along with the different types of "news gatherers and presenters" and the various styles of journalism. Do you want to know about media bias, the journalist's code of ethics, or just what newsworthiness and truthiness mean? Discover what various media watchdog organizations are doing to ensure truth in reporting. You can read about American journalism scandals, the news circus, and find out just what "gotcha" journalism really is. Additionally, you will learn the measures of journalism to report accurately and the protective rights of a journalist.
