This well-researched and -written guide provides many insights on how modern-day journalists can take better advantage of technology.
It hits some basics on blogging, video and audio production and interactivity, which will appeal to those journalists who still haven't fully embraced interactive media.
It really delves into data journalism, which I found most helpful. Additionally, the sections on writing for the web and user-generated content were especially useful.
Why only four stars? The book was written by British journalists and most of the examples focused on the UK (including the section on legal issues). Additionally, at the speed technology is moving and is changing our profession, much of the information in this guide will be dated within a couple of years.
Regardless, I'm pretty enthusiastic about this book, and I recommend it to budding journalists as well as ink-stained wretches.
