Daniel Bennett

Digital Media and Reporting Conflict

Blogging and the BBC's Coverage of War and Terrorism

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Informed by the views of over 100 BBC staff at all levels of the corporation, in this book Bennett captures journalists' shifting attitudes towards blogs and internet sources used to cover wars and other conflicts. While the focus of the book is on the BBC's coverage of war and terrorism, the conclusions are more widely relevant to the evolving practice of journalism at traditional media organizations as they grapple with a revolution in publication.
