Understanding Journalism provides an indispensable guide through the processes and decisions required to produce quality journalism.



Starting from `What is news?′ and moving on to consider decisions about public interest, accuracy and reliability of sources, and ethics, this book provides a model for practice centering on developing skills in critical self-reflection. It will help answer the question of `Where to begin?′ - examining the processes used by journalists to define, identify, evaluate and create journalism.





Understanding Journalism offers a guide to:





Finding news - exploring the nature of news and the factors influencing news judgement


Choosing news - considering the power journalists exercise in selecting the issues that become news and examining the ethical implications of these decisions


Gathering news - focusing on primary research - specifically interviews


Constructing news - explores the processes used in deciding what to omit and what to include in the news depending on a targeted audience


Working With Words - explores the role of editing in journalism and how it affects media messages





Understanding Journalism will be essential reading for all students of journalism.

Lynette Sheridan Burns has been a journalist for 25 years first in Sydney, then regional new South Wales, where she won three consecutive journalism awards. In 1989 she moved to the University of Newcastle, Australia, where she established its journalism program in 1992. Today she combines teaching with freelance journalism and award-wining research into problem-based curriculum design.
