The Elements of Journalism: What Newspeople Should Know and the Public Should ExpectCompletely UPDATED and REVISED-- by Bill Kovach and Tom RosenstielThe Elements of Journalism delineates the core principles shared by journalists across media, even across cultures. These principles flow from the essential function news plays in people's lives. This new edition, published April 2007, is completely updated and revised and includes a new 10th principle--the rights and responsibilites of citizens--flowing from new power conveyed by technology to the citizen as a consumer and editor of their own news and information. Lessons and ideas from The Elements of Journalism form the basis of CCJ's Traveling Curriculum newsroom training program.
