In this work, Mitchell Stephens contends that the image will supersede the word as a means of understanding and entertainment. Although this may indeed signal the end of literacy as we know it, Stephens argues that television and electronic technologies will actually push intellectual progress beyond our wildest imaginings. Just as the development of writing and the invention of the printing press profoundly changed our culture, television has set in motion a third communications revolution.

This book is a revision of a versatile and unique text that is suited for introductory courses on the history of journalism and media and society, which are fundamental courses in undergraduate and graduate journalism/mass communication departments. The author's approach in this text is distinctive as he traces the history of the news from preliterate cultures to the current information explosion. Most importantly, he examines news in all of its manifestations - spoken, written, visual - from an international perspective. In this edition, Stephens broadens the scope of international coverage. expands the section on television news, and adds an entire chapter on the Internet and The Digital Revolution.

For a century and a half, journalists made a good business out of selling the latest news or selling ads next to that news. Now that news pours out of the Internet and our mobile devices-fast, abundant, and mostly free-that era is ending. Our best journalists, Mitchell Stephens argues, instead must offer original, challenging perspectives-not just slightly more thorough accounts of widely reported events. His book proposes a new standard: "wisdom journalism," an amalgam of the more rarified forms of reporting-exclusive, enterprising, investigative-and informed, insightful, interpretive, explanatory, even opinionated takes on current events. This book features an original, sometimes critical examination of contemporary journalism, both on- and offline, and it finds inspiration for a more ambitious and effective understanding of journalism in examples from twenty-first-century articles and blogs, as well as in a selection of outstanding twentieth-century journalism and Benjamin Franklin's eighteenth-century writings. Most attempts to deal with journalism's current crisis emphasize technology.Stephens emphasizes mindsets and the need to rethink what journalism has been and might become.
