Journalism recently suffered one of its worst circulation declines in years: a drop of more than ten percent in the a six month period ending September 30, 2009. \u003ci\u003eThe Rocky Mountain News\u003c\/i\u003e in Denver, CO, closed its doors in 2009--after it dominated the AP awards in 2008, and was lauded for an investigative expose on unfair treatment of former nuclear workers. Even the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eWashington Post \u003c\/i\u003eare experiencing financial trouble. But print advertising revenue still trumps online advertising revenue ten-fold. Is there hope yet for traditional journalism? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book reviews the complicated challenge facing journalism, tracing its 19th-century community-oriented origins and documenting the vast expansion of the news business via blogs and other Internet-enabled outlets, user-generated content, and news-like alternatives. The author argues that a radical shift in mindset--striving to meet each individual's demands for what he wants to know--will be necessary to save journalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachel Davis Mersey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313392080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313392085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 288","brand":"Rachel Davis Mersey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48135979041023,"sku":"9780313392085","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c2f1fb19-2945-459c-a0ad-3c99228bd06f.jpg?v=1770159705","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/can-journalism-be-saved-rachel-davis-mersey-9780313392085","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
