Books acquired today
I picked these up at the annual convention of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication:
- Blog Wars, by David D. Perlmutter
- SuperMedia: Saving Journalism So It Can Save the World, by Charlie Beckett
- The Politics of News, the News of Politics, 2nd edition, edited by Graber, McQuail and Norris
Hoping to choose one to assign in my fall graduate course, New Media and a Democratic Society. SuperMedia is looking particularly good on first perusal.
Mindy:
I’m about halfway through Supermedia. Interesting stuff, particularly the chapter on networked journalism and Africa. This is a well-thought-out book.
