Highlighting key issues including ownership and shifting regulatory environments, the ethics of broadcast journalism, the revolutionary role of user-generated-content, and digital convergence, the work also features discussions of global issues such as the coverage of the rise of ISIS, alongside detailed explorations of international broadcasters including Fox, CNN and al-Jazeera.
