Amid the hand-wringing over the death of "true journalism"
in the Internet Age-the din of bloggers, the echo chamber of
Twitter, the predominance of Wikipedia-veteran journalists
and media critics Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel have
written a pragmatic guide to navigating the twenty-first
century media terrain. Yes, old authorities are being
dismantled, new ones created, and the very nature of
knowledge has changed. But seeking the truth remains the
purpose of journalism. How do we discern what is reliable?
Blur provides a road map, or more specifically, reveals the
craft that has been used in newsrooms by the very best
journalists for getting at the truth. In an age when the
line between citizen and journalist is becoming increasingly
unclear, Blur is a crucial guide for those who want to know
what's true.
