User-generated content is both a source for professional journalists and a direct competitor for a reader's attention. To navigate these new realities, it is imperative for journalism students to master skills in cross-platform writing, and understand the implications on their communication decisions. This second edition of Understanding Journalism tackles these changes head-on. Author Lynette Sheridan Burns integrates media and cultural theory with the step-by- step development of writing skills to give students the techniques and the savvy they need to succeed.
