Kelly Toughill, University of Kings College, Halifax, Canada It is comprehensive. It hits all of the major points of contemporary production and sustainabilityWe need a new text for the first-year course (Foundations of Journalism Module in Journalism Economics). Nothing out there is adequate. This might work well. We also need a good text on entrepreneurial journalism for our graduate program.
Sue Greenwood, Staffordshire University, UK The focus on practical skills and advice is the strongest element in making this a book students will want to use The focus on case studies makes for a more accessible book and delivers a much broader range of voices and experiences for students to learn from Including freelancing as entrepreneurialism is a strength I would recommend that it was made available to my students as supplementary reading.
Tim Dunlop, Centre for Advancing Journalism, University of Melbourne, Australia Sounds like a good, basic intro to some important issues, including the use of tech in performing journalism. The interviews with people like Jeff Jarvis could be valuable I would say that the real weakness here is that the material is likely to be very dated by the time of publication and that there is not nearly enough attention to social media.
