Abstract

This batch of reviews begins with a review of a book titled The End of Journalism that analyzes journalism’s present and peeks into its future. This selection then ends with a review of a book that explores the media history of documents beyond journalism. In between, the reviews explore books on media and political advertising and the disappearance of investigative journalism. The reviews also cover the digital age and its link to scandal, to censorship, to youth and identity, to the video revolution, to coverage of the Supreme Court, and to the Internet as an action space. And then, one review in a way linked to the digital age is of a timely book that revisits Neil Postman’s seminal work, Amazing Ourselves to Death.
These and several other reviews offer, I hope, a reflection of the many branches of communication and media research going on around us at present. Please enjoy.
