"The essays in this collection cover best practices in an era of
networked, global journalism; the role of transparency in relation
to other journalistic values; verification practices for social
media; principles of linking; curation and aggregation; live
blogging and tweeting; corrections and "unpublishing"; citizen
collaboration; multimedia journalism; data journalism; and issues
related to journalists' public and private selves. The essays are
tightly integrated through attention to three key ethical
frameworks: duty, virtue, and care. Case studies of best practices
and questions for reflection offer opportunities for application.
…. Summing Up: Highly recommended." —J. H. Fritz, Duquesne
University, for CHOICE"The best of the emergent literature on
online journalism combines the applied and the theoretical,
allowing readers to see the connections between abstract and
concrete principles. By grounding the book in best practices, and
by turning to a veritable who’s who of commentators to examine the
state of the art across so many aspects of online journalism, the
editors assemble a timely, useful book of interest to
practitioners, teachers and students. Zion and Craig, seasoned
journalists as well as academics, walk the walk, and hence can talk
the talk." —Charles N. Davis, Dean, Henry W. Grady College of
Journalism and Mass Communication, University of Georgia
