 The book I've been waiting for May 21, 2010
Leslie-jean Thornton (Cronkite School of Journalism & Mass Communication, ASU, Phoenix, AZ USA)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
In a field that changes daily, if not hourly or faster, it's nearly impossible to find a course text that captures the most important skills. It's even harder to do while contextualizing the practice in such a way that students know full well they're going to have to work beyond the book to keep current and are likely to want to do it. I'm introducing this book in the fall multimedia bootcamp (16 weeks of immersion) I teach at the Cronkite School (Arizona State University). At the moment, the book's my newest BFF. Clear, intelligent, wide-ranging -- and "gets it."
Covers everything May 21, 2010
Madison Mccord (Spokane, WA)
Mark's book is exactly what this industry needs. Unlike any other book I have read on digital journalism, the handbook not only covers every aspect of digital journalism, but does it in very good detail and depth.

Mark Luckie begins his book with the words: "If you're looking for an apocalyptic dissertation on why journalism is dying, this isn't the book for you."
I have been a broadcast and print journalist for the past twenty years and I recommend this book for any journalist or aspiring journalist who is trying to navigate the complexities of New Media. Luckie describes the skills that today's journalists need to be a proficient and confident in the world of online media.
 Can't wait to get it February 17, 2010

Mark Luckie taught a digital media seminar I attended at UC Berkeley, and I follow his "10,000 Words" blog religiously-- he's one of the tops out there. One of the few people who gets it, does it, and can teach it all in one individual. Just ordered the book and can't wait to get it!
