"In a world where today's journalists need to know more than just how to write, interview and research, this book provides a practical, how-to approach for developing, honing, and practicing the intangible skills that are critical to strong journalism. Individual chapters introduce journalism's intangible concepts such as curiosity, empathy, implicit bias, community engagement, and tenacity, relating them to solid journalistic practice through real-world examples. Case studies and interviews with industry professionals help to further establish connections between concept and practice, and end-of-chapter exercises give the reader a concrete pathway toward developing these skills. The book offers an important perspective for the modern media landscape, where any journalist seeking to make an impact must know how to contextualize events, hold power to account, and inform their community in order to contribute to a healthy democracy. This is an invaluable text for courses in journalism skills at both the undergraduate and graduate level and anyone training the next generation of journalists"-- Provided by publisher.
