Editorial Reviews

«Indem der Band hartnäckig nach der realen Praxis und Bedeutung von Journalismus in Print, TV und Online fragt, liefert er ein äusserst plastisches und die zentralen Fragen konsequent verfolgendes Tableau der Auseinandersetzung zwischen Print und Online in den USA.»
(Markus Bauer, MEDIENwissenschaften 04/2016)
