Description
Summary:[Batsell] (Southern Methodist Univ.) draws on field research and his newsroom experience to explore the connections between news producers and news consumers in the digital world. Do journalists' interactions with viewers, readers, and listeners add "value, purpose, and authenticity" to journalism? Batsell argues that they do and they should. He uses concrete examples from numerous news agencies that engage with their audiences via blogs, social media, and other online manifestations.
