Well written and useful information
July 27 2010
By Radiogirl
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I really enjoyed reading "Journalism Next". The information is organized so that it flows. You can read the text in order or based on the chapters that you are most interested in reading. I enjoyed the 'Tech Innovators' sections: industry professionals and their thoughts on how things operate at the media outlets where they work.
The language of the book is straight-forward. There are lots of images to compliment the topics. The book is just a wealth of resources.
I won't be able to use it solely for a text for the courses that I teach, but I will be referencing one chapter for one of my courses.
Oh, and Briggs recognizes that the text might be outdated in what, two years, and he often references that you should search online for updated information.

Simple overview of where media is going and what media practitioners need to know to survive. Should be required reading for both new journalists and journalism dinosaurs who refuse to change.
