Book Review: Understanding journalism by Lynette Sheridan Burns

"Understanding Journalism." Second Edition. Lynette Sheridan Burns. SAGE. December 2012. --- Understanding Journalism sets out to examine the processes used by journalists to define, identify, evaluate and create journalism. What are the facts? Are there any questions that remain unanswered? Is there another angle to the story? What are my ethical concerns? These are the sort of thought-provoking inquiries that the author prompts us to critically reflect upon, writes Ana Polo Alonso. This is a highly interesting book that will be useful to journalism students.
