The Elements of Journalism, Revised and Updated 3rd Edition: What Newspeople Should Know and the Public Should Expect Paperback – April 1, 2014

One of the best books about journalism, that I have ever read. Textbooks don't explain journalism ethics like this book does, and the best part is it is SUPER EASY TO READ. If all news providers read this book, I think society would have a better relationship with all media.

Excellent account of how the Media works and should work. Helps understand the failures of the Media although does not quite delve enough into technique - e.g. the type of questions the Media asks (leading, loaded, argumentative, rhetorical).

This isn’t some huge deal by no means. I don’t mean to slam this on harsh. It’s just just like that irritating itch that you catch scratch sometimes. It’s nice to have a new book and that smooth feel of it too. Unfortunately when my book (left) arrived it was bend ever so nicely giving me that annoying itch. No need to cry over spilt milk. I would just like to share my honest review. The other book(right) is just to show that comparison. Amazon, handle items more carefully. Thank you.

for the price i thought i was gonna get a crappy looking book but it looks like i bought it off the shelve and it soo useful in my journalism and democracy class.

Great book, very insightful. This version has been updated over the years and is very relevant still to this day.

Kovach and Rosenstiel have updated their insightful comments on journalism to reflect the current trends in journalism. A good read for journalists or news consumers.

I appreciated the return to principles as a way to engage the ever shifting terrain of journalism and technology. A good read.
