Introduction: how journalism became a dirty word -- Reimagining truth: comedians, fake news, and the fate of objectivity -- Reimagining trust: engaged journalism, open reporting, and listening to the public -- Reimagining reach: VICE, Snapchat, and journalism's quest for digital-native news consumers -- Reimagining revenue: paywalls, crowdfunding, and the end of the advertising age -- Reimagining what's next: enduring questions for the future of journalism.
This book examines how journalism is evolving to meet the demands of digital media, where lies often spread faster than truth, and news consumers expect journalism to be a conversation, not a lecture. Examines the historical roots of journalism's crisis and possible solutions, provides context for the 2016 election's "fake news" phenomenon, and explains what savvy journalists are doing to rebuild trust in real journalism.
