Journalism as a discipline is becoming increasingly important today. It has to contend with new challenges such as the explosion of social media, heightened commercial competition in the mainstream media and the emergence of the media as a powerful actor in public policy and governance. The confluence of these factors calls for fresh thinking about the teaching and practice of journalism. A Handbook of Journalism: Media in the Information Age not only helps readers to understand today’s media environment but also prepares them to face the existing challenges. Distinguished editors, experts, academics and journalists join to examine these challenges from various angles, including some of the major contemporary trends, issues and processes in governance, institutions, administration and development, among others. The book fairly and objectively discusses a critical discipline that is at the crossroads. Media in the digital age is rapidly evolving, but many of the challenges that journalism faces are not very well understood by the wider public or by media professionals themselves. Given the breadth of topics it seeks to address, this handbook will be a valuable addition to existing literature on the subject. (Siddharth Varadarajan, Founding Editor, The Wire, and former Editor, The Hindu). Any attempt at making sense of the proliferation of media in the digital era is welcome. Print still retains its primacy despite social media and other offshoots. Principles of good journalism remain the same: integrity and competence. (S. Nihal Singh, former Editor, The Statesman and The Indian Express, and Distinguished Columnist).
