In 1872 New York City, a young newspaper reporter puts his life in danger when he goes undercover to investigate a conspiracy in the violent world of bare-knuckle boxing.

A much-welcomed snow day turns into an embarrassing nightmare for middle-grader Adam Canfield when, after being mugged by high school bullies for his snow-shoveling money, he becomes the focus of major media attention just as his co-editors at The Slash are launching a contest to out bullies at their school.

Las nuevas tecnologías han modificado las relaciones entre los reporteros y sus empresas. Otrora, el enviado de un periódico, agencia o cadena de televisión, disponía de cierto margen y podía dar libre curso a su iniciativa. Buscaba la información, la descubría, la verificaba, la seleccionaba y le daba forma según su talento y el tiempo disponible. En nuestros días, cada vez más a menudo, no es más que "un simple peón" que se desplaza...

Gente que se fue reune relatos del escritor y periodista David Gistau. Textos contradictorios, luminosos y oscuros a la vez, unidos por un hilo imperceptible que va tejiendose a través de una mirada alada como un cuchillo, capaz de recoger el desamparo, el humor, la ternura y la violencia en los márgenes de la vida. La pluma de Gistau rescata lo extraordinario de lo ordinario, en la belleza de las pequeñas cosas y en el dolor de las heridas abiertas. Por...

Based on Michael Evans's years of experience as an editor and supplemented by invaluable observations from the editors...

When we encounter a news story, why do we accept its version of events? A complicated set of cultural, structural, and technological relationships inform this interaction, and Journalistic Authority provides a relational theory for explaining how journalists attain authority. The book argues that authority is not a thing to be possessed or lost, but a quality of the connections between those laying claim to being an authority and those who assent...

Edward Snowden's release of classified NSA documents exposed the widespread government practice of mass surveillance in a democratic society. The publication of these documents, facilitated by three journalists, as well as efforts to criminalize the act of being a whistleblower or source, signaled a new era in the coverage of national security reporting. The contributors to Journalism After Snowden analyze the implications of the Snowden affair for...

Los Angeles is as much concept as city, set in a desert that flows to the sea; that ends in the sand where an ocean begins whose horizon recedes in the sunset; a city where émigrés and the children of immigrants have come to make their dreams come true. It is a mix of the sublime and the obvious, of the new and the nouveau, of the selfless and the selfish. It is as delicate as the quality of the light, the air and the surf; and as ephemeral. It...
