“When choosing which media sources to follow, it helps to know how the media work.” The first chapter in this timely and informative volume asks “What is News?” and then answers that question in subsequent sections, covering topics including “Accuracy and Credibility,” “Fairness and Bias,” and “Citizen Journalism.” Color photos, diagrams, and sidebars are scattered throughout. Aspiring journalists will appreciate the “Media Literacy 101” spread. A glossary, an additional resources page, source notes, a select bibliography, and an index conclude the title.
