Professors--do us a favor....,

This review is from: Power Journalism: Computer-Assisted Reporting (Paperback)
Please, never assign this book to a student again. Using sources over a decade old is frowned upon in every other discipline; surely, text about using internet as a source for journalists, is even more outmoded as technology is changing faster than research can keep up with.Pros for the book--it's well written, well constructed, and gets information across with ease even if you are not the most tech-savvy writer. Cons--Again, it is completely outdated. The concepts are fine and good, but all the examples are shown (I'm fairly sure) in DOS. Remember: College students today have never lived in a world that wasn't wired. Instead of this text I would HIGHLY recommend Journalism Next: A Practical Guide to Digital Reporting and Publishing by Mark Briggs. Published in 2009, Briggs covers a breadth of information for journalists and a good guide to the basics of web 2.0. Journalism Next: A Practical Guide to Digital Reporting and Publishing |
