In a field that changes daily, if not hourly or faster, it's nearly impossible to find a course text that captures the most important skills. It's even harder to do while contextualizing the practice in such a way that students know full well they're going to have to work beyond the book to keep current and are likely to want to do it. I'm introducing this book in the fall multimedia bootcamp (16 weeks of immersion) I teach at the Cronkite School (Arizona State University). At the moment, the book's my newest BFF. Clear, intelligent, wide-ranging -- and "gets it."

Mark Luckie begins his book with the words: "If you're looking for an apocalyptic dissertation on why journalism is dying, this isn't the book for you."
I have been a broadcast and print journalist for the past twenty years and I recommend this book for any journalist or aspiring journalist who is trying to navigate the complexities of New Media. Luckie describes the skills that today's journalists need to be a proficient and confident in the world of online media.

Mark's book is exactly what this industry needs. Unlike any other book I have read on digital journalism, the handbook not only covers every aspect of digital journalism, but does it in very good detail and depth.

I thought it would be more about using these tools in the context of the web and the net but it's really aimed for people who have never shot video or composed a still picture. Not so useful for me. I understand that stuff, i was looking for something a bit more distinctive to how these can be used on the web itself.
