About this title

Synopsis

In an age when young people may confuse online chatter with legitimate news, Navigating the News is the first textbook designed to show students how to recognize credible reporting and how real journalists perform their jobs.
The book begins with the basics of how to critically assess news stories, then covers what to look for in everything from community news and crime reporting to business, political and investigative coverage. More than 50 professional journalists share insights on how they gather, edit and report news, and discuss what critical audiences should expect from their news coverage.
Students learn how to analyze complex topics including science, environmental and education news, and a series of chapters covers how to approach news from different parts of the world. Navigating the News is aimed at general audiences, not just journalism or communication majors.
The mission of this text is simple: If students don't recognize what real news is, Navigating the News is going to teach them.
Co-authors include: Scott Fosdick, Nisha Garud Patkar and Dona Nichols of San Jose State University, Tamara J. Welter and Michael A. Longinow of Biola University, distinguished freelance journalist Mollie Bloudoff-Indelicato, Brenda Bukowa of the University of Zambia, Ed Madison of the University of Oregon, Julie Patel Liss of California State University, Los Angeles, Frank Michael Russell of California State University, Fullerton and John Shrader of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
