[Anne-Marie · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very good introduction to journalism. It would be good to see this revised and updated as the examples of journalism come from the early 2000s and while it covers online journalism very well, things have moved on. Nevertheless Tony Harcup is very readable and very balanced.
