Reviews for Journalism: Principles and Practice
A holistic assessment of what journalism is all about, with plenty of enterprising interpretations of our trade - a word I prefer to ′profession′. I never met a more ′unprofessional′ breed than that of my fellow hacks. This book will, I hope, lead our successors both to question and rebel more than we have.
Jon Snow This is a terrific text: original in its blend of theory and practice; always eminently readable; packed with references, anecdotes and ideas – and bang up to date. Above all, Tony Harcup conveys throughout his passion for responsible, reflective journalism. A must for all committed to improving the media.
Richard Keeble Engaging and valuable. This edition presents a thoroughly researched bedrock to teaching key concepts of journalism. Harcup′s new offering of set ethical dilemmas is a seminar delight.
Paula Hearsum This new edition reflects how the internet has changed journalism and its landscape. Tony Harcup interlaces practical knowledge and theoretical insight in a user-friendly format to make this an excellent text for all categories of journalists and students.
Mercy Ette This is simply the best book for journalism students and their teachers that I have ever seen... Just over a decade ago Tony Harcup raised the bar when he used an innovative split-page technique to marry the often conflicting interests of journalism practice and the theoretical and ethical environment in which journalists operate. He has now upped the ante again with the e-book version of the third edition.
