Review

A thought-provoking look at the roots of Web publishing, Digital Journalism demystifies the remarkable technology innovations that spawned instant global publishing and brought the world to our desktops. These essays provide stepping stones for classroom discussion by giving us the reporter's view from inside a torrent of change.--Janice Castro, The Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University

A handful of other books have been written on this subject, but this very readable book is one of the few to give perspectives from such diverse areas of expertise. Highly recommended.--CHOICE
