Featuring lively accounts of news events across history, <i>Journalism Today: A Themed History</i> examines the trends and conditions affecting modern journalism in the context of its past. Eschewing a traditional, chronological approach, authors Jane Chapman and Nick Nutall provide a cultural history using broad themes that have stood the test of time to connect the history of journalism with the current trends, issues, and challenges informing journalistic practice today. The book’s approach to journalism history is structured around four key themes: <ul> <li>journalism’s function in democracy</li> <li>the influence of technology</li> <li>balancing ethical values </li> <li>the role of the audience. </li> </ul> <p><br /> Rich with anecdotes and fascinating  biographical sketches of key figures in the development of journalism in the US, UK, and Europe, this book will give students and general readers new insight into the historical influences that continue to shape journalism and its practice.</p>

<p>"An invaluable book for integration of recent developments into media history; brilliantly links past and present, journalism and society through exploring personalization, globalization, localization, pauperization as hallmarks of modern journalism."<br />—<b>Hazel Dicken-Garcia, Professor Emerita, University of Minnesota</b></p> <p>"Jane Chapman and Nick Nuttall have written an introduction to journalism that is highly original and provocative. It is well worth reading and should be mandatory for anyone with an interest in the subject."<br />—<b>Robert W. McChesney, co-author, The Death and Life of American Journalism</b></p>
