The Troubles of Journalism: A Critical Look at What's Right and Wrong With the Press by William A. Hachten [Repost]

This book looks at criticisms of the journalism profession and evaluates many of the changes in journalism–both positive and negative. In addition, it suggests what the many changes mean for this nation and indeed for the world at large, as American journalism–its methods and standards–has markedly influenced the way many millions overseas receive news and view their world. Based on author William Hachten's 50-year involvement with newspapers and journalism education, The Troubles of Journalism serves as a realistic examination of the profession, and is appropriate for upper-level undergraduate courses in journalism and media criticism.
