Recenzje

""Trusting the News in a Digital Age" -- Anything with that title is to be supported!"- Adam Clayton Powell III, Executive Director, Election Cybersecurity Initiative, USC Annenberg Center on Communication Leadership and Polity"At last there's a touchstone for genuine news reporting--written by a professional grounded in true journalism. Need to define what 'fake news' really is, and how to defeat it? Tell a reliable source from a corrupt one? Grasp the economics of digital news? It's all in Jeffrey Dvorkin's Trusting the News in a Digital Age. It's a one-volume course syllabus in 21st century news, but more, because no journalist, lawyer or communications specialist should be working a keyboard without this book within reach."- Arthur Kent, former war correspondent and author"As an educator, I particularly appreciate the chapter "takeaways" and "ethical dilemmas". This book is richly informative and insightful. Students will get a lot out of this book."- Dr. Karen McCrindle, head of the Department of French Linguistics and former program director of journalism at the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus
