"During this period of rapid and significant change in journalistic practices, journalism educators are re-examining their own profession and contributing to the invention of new models and practices. This edited volume of studies by respected international scholars describes the diverse issues journalism educators are grappling with and the changes they are making in purpose and practice. The book is organized into three sections -- education, training and employment - that explore common themes:
" How the assumptions embedded in journalism education are being examined and revised in the light of transformative changes in communication;
" How the definitions of journalism and journalists are broadening in scope and what this means for educators;
" How newsrooms and training programs around the world are being re-examined and made more effective." (Publisher description)
