Topics include the ever-increasing monopolistic control of the media by conglomerates, tabloid journalism and its impact on the news, and plagiarism. Foerstel presents the history of each controversy, important media personalities, and relevant legislation. Students can apply critical thinking skills to examine the current status of each controversy and make predictions on possible future outcomes." "From the paparazzi to Internet censorship, Foerstel highlights significant controversies in modern journalism and the media, specifically noting the press' intrusion into celebrities' private lives, including the death of Princess Diana. The problem with plagiarism and the overuse of anonymous sources among news organizations is yet another controversial issue noted in this work. Perhaps the most controversial of all media subjects - the battle over First Amendment rights on the electronic frontier of the Internet - is discussed in depth. This up-to-date look at controversies involving the media offers new insights into the issues that shape intellectual freedom within the world of journalism."--BOOK JACKET.
