Abstract This book examines how journalism is evolving to meet the demands of digital media, where lies often spread faster than truth, and news consumers expect journalism to be a conversation, not a lecture. Examines the historical roots of journalism's crisis and possible solutions, provides context for the 2016 election's "fake news" phenomenon, and explains what savvy journalists are doing to rebuild trust in real journalism.
