Book Overview

An urgent case that the survival of democracy depends on reinventing the press, with ten pioneering reforms to help journalism better serve the public--from the co-author of the classic The Elements of Journalism.

The crisis in journalism reflects a crisis in American democracy. Faith in news outlets has dwindled, news deserts are expanding, and audiences are turning away from alarmist, partisan, and fragmented coverage.

In The Next Journalism, Tom Rosenstiel--veteran journalist, researcher, novelist, and co-author of The Elements of Journalism--argues that the roots of journalism's failure are intellectual, not just financial or technological. He outlines ten fundamental ways journalism must change to become more useful, trustworthy, and collaborative with the communities it serves.

From redefining news as a service rather than a product, to embracing transparency, to harnessing AI responsibly, Rosenstiel provides a bold, practical framework for rebuilding a press that empowers citizens instead of alienating them. With case studies, historical insight, and forward-looking ideas, this book offers journalists, policymakers, and readers alike a roadmap to ensuring democracy's survival in the twenty-first century.
