Description

Journalism is in crisis, with traditional sources of news under siege, a sputtering business model, a resurgence of partisanship, and a persistent expectation that information should be free.

In Covering America, Christopher B. Daly places the current crisis within historical context, showing how it is only the latest challenge for journalists to overcome. In this revised and expanded edition, Daly updates his narrative with new stories about legacy media like the New York Times and the Washington Post, and the digital natives like the Huffington Post and Buzzfeed.

A new final chapter extends the study of the business crisis facing journalism by examining the ""platform revolution"" in media, showing how Facebook, Twitter, and other social media are disrupting the traditional systems of delivering journalism to the public.

In an era when the factual basis of news is contested and when the government calls journalists ""the enemy of the American people"" or ""the opposition party,"" Covering America brings history to bear on the vital issues of our times.
