Does society still need journalists?Journalism faces multiple threats today all over the world: economic decline, online disinformation, the rise of AI, authoritarian curbs on freedom of the press, and violence against journalists. In such a climate, it’s more urgent than ever to ask what journalism is for. Drawing on his experience as a journalist and media commentator, and on interviews with journalists from the US to Myanmar, Jon Allsop examines key concepts that constitute journalism’s role: good judgement, concern for truth and critical scrutiny of one or more communities. Along the way, he also considers the relationship between journalism and activism; whether journalists should aspire to change the world and whether they can be seen as champions of democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tales on Market Street","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43491417293006,"sku":"9781529238556","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/top-hatandtales.co.uk\/products\/9781529238556","provider":"Top Hat \u0026 Tales","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
