Close attention is paid to the effect of technological advance on news gathering, news and feature writing, page planning and design, the production, advertising and commercial side of newspapers, attitudes and work routines of journalists. In addition, the book devotes sections to the controversial, and sometimes neglected issues of chequebook journalism, bias and distortion, news management, legal restrictions and advertising influence. This book is widely used on journalism and media-related courses, including degrees and those run by newspaper companies and the NCTJ, and the many training schemes abroad that look at British practice.
