Internet Journalism and Fake News

May 1, 2019
Grades 7-12 Today, news is only a click or tweet away, but it hasn't always been this easy to access. These entries in The Fourth Estate: Journalism in North America series (8 titles) reveal the evolution of news media. Each thorough book opens with a history of the topic and continues with chapters on key storytellers, breaking headlines, and the topic's lasting impact on journalism. Internet Journalism and Fake News highlights how personal computers and the internet gave rise to digital journalism and the proliferation of the fake news phenomenon. Numerous archival photos and related profiles of influential newsmakers and technology add important details. Collectively, the volumes give students a comprehensive history of journalism.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
