Can journalism be saved? : rediscovering America's appetite for news

Mersey, Rachel Davis 1978- (Author).

Summary: This book reviews the complicated challenge facing journalism, tracing its 19th-century community-oriented origins and documenting the vast expansion of the news business via blogs and other Internet-enabled outlets, user-generated content, and news-like alternatives. The author argues that a radical shift in mindset -- striving to meet each individual's demands for what he wants to know -- will be necessary to save journalism.
