A great book. Quite practical and easy to learn from.
As the title says - essential reading.
Very informative book. Recommended.
A very useful, accessible and up-to-date handbook for online journalism. This will be incorporated into Online Journalism sessions that I do with both Sports Journalism and Journalism students.
The book is highly essential for many of our courses and we have decided to use it in additional five courses, i.e. during Fall semester for a group of circa 25 students. One of these courses also have an additional of circa 25 international exchange students. So in total we will have approximately 75-80 students per year reading and using the book as course literature.
The book contains practical information on both foundation level (essential skills, knowing the users/audience) and multimedia skills. It is also good to see the 'data journalism' and 'entrepreneurship' (newsonomics) part in a book aiming beginners. Becoming a thinking journalist (ethics and good practice) also another good part. I recommend this textbook for 'New media and journalism/publishing/broadcasting' course students.
Hill and Lashmar's book combines theory and practice in an easily accessible volume which I will recommend to my students as supplemental reading for their Practical Journalism studies.
it is the future of journalism and if i can get the podcasting module added to the course then the online journalism book will go from recommended to essential
