When journalists investigate journalism

Here is a tight, thoroughly readable crash course on the evolution of news media. The public is hungry for an explanation of why the mainstream news media is the the way it is, why so many important stories receive little coverage or biased coverage, and how it gets away with it. Judy Daubenmier offers a full-bodied context for this, plus the history of news media over the past decades, from Murrow to Murdoch, and a look at how new media (the independent journalism blog) is changing the landscape ahead.

Permanence for the best of the blogs

If you believe network and cable news have a liberal bias, you may have to do some reading to understand this collection. If you know the meaning of "faux news" and "Rupert Murdock," however, you will appreciate Daubenmier's championing of the role of bloggers in combatting corporate media. Especially noteworthy are the items on attempts to censor and control bloggers. The 25 authors featured here are a "who's who" of progressive bloggers.
