In an swiftly changing media environment, what happens to journalism? Crafted to involve, inspire, and challenge students while setting forth the fundamental principles of the vocation, Concepts of American Journalism exposes students to the core principles of journalism and its distinctly important role in a democracy. From the First Amendment to Facebook, Stephanie Craft and Charles N. Davis present a detailed exploration of the guiding principles of journalism―the moral and legal foundations of the field, its historical and contemporary tenets, the financial setting, the associations between journalism and other societal establishments, and the principal issues and difficulties that modern journalists confront. Through case studies, deliberation prompts, and field activities, students are encouraged to delve critically into journalism’s function in society, shaping conscious practitioners of journalism and more knowledgeable media consumers.

With its foundation under attack, its principles being questioned from both external and internal sources, and its future far from certain, it has never been more critical to consider what sets journalism apart. This book is suitable for introductory Concepts of Journalism courses, and the accompanying website offers a complete array of student and instructor materials to enrich the learning experience and engage with the latest news topics and events.
