Publisher's summary

Like the authors' classic book The Elements of Journalism, Blur is a unique and understandable discourse on how information culture is changing. Yes, old authorities are being dismantled and new ones created, and the way we obtain knowledge has changed. But seeking true and reliable information remains the most important purpose of journalism - and the object for those who consume it. In an age when the line between citizen and journalist is becoming increasingly fuzzy, Blur is an indispensable and serious-minded guide to navigating this new 21century media terrain.

This important book helps answer an important question: how to read the news? It helps make sense of things in a time when news consumers have a great deal of responsibility to evaluating reliability of stories and also the relative importance of stories. It's down to earth and filed with good examples.

Required Reading

I would say this is required reading for anyone, especially high school or college student. It's time to step up and begin to decipher the messaging. Gone are the heavyweights: Cronkite, Jennnings, Russert,
