Practising journalism

About this book

"Showcasing a vast spectrum of practices and trends in present-day journalism, this collection of original essays critically analyses the development and expansion of the profession against the background of the increasing scepticism and pragmatism affecting it. At a time when the journalistic ethic of imparting truth to society at large is being challenged by market-driven forces, this volume reflects upon the struggle to sustain this ideal in various facets of the profession." "Providing original insights into the practices of contemporary journalism and its future, this volume will be of interest to students and practitioners of mass communications and media studies, as well as to general readers interested in the current state of the profession in India."--Jacket.
