About this book

Learn the skills you need to find sources, fact check, and write trusted articles

Since the advent of the internet and the birth of social media, it has become difficult to wade through the massive amount of information out there. Every day we see—and believe—news articles that are released then debunked the very next day. Journalism For Dummies will provide you with the tools you need to become a savvy interviewer, writer, and fact checker. If you're a journalist, a journalist-to-be, or just someone who wants to be smarter about what you read, this book can help. You'll learn how journalism has evolved into what it is today, how to utilize different media platforms, including social media, and how to produce work that people can trust. This book is a comprehensive and approachable entry point for anyone who wants to produce pieces with journalistic integrity.

Become media literate and identify sensational or misleading stories and articles
Learn about the reporting process, including newsworthiness, sourcing, fact-checking, and interview best practices
