'Os Elementos do Jornalismo' é uma obra voltada para todos os que querem compreender melhor por que caminhos anda a comunicação social e de que modo pode/deve enfrentar os desafios que se lhe colocam. Resultante das reflexões dos autores, mas também de uma auscultação de opiniões entre jornalistas, estudiosos dos 'media' e membros do público, este livro preocupou-se sobretudo em saber o que é que o jornalismo deve ser - para o que identificou um conjunto de princípios básicos considerados fundamentais.

Few aspects of American military history have been as vigorously debated as Harry Truman's decision to use atomic bombs against Japan. In this carefully crafted volume, Michael Kort describes the wartime circumstances and thinking that form the context for the decision to use these weapons, surveys the major debates related to that decision, and provides a comprehensive collection of key primary source documents that illuminate the behavior of the United States and Japan during the closing days of World War II. Kort opens with a summary of the debate over Hiroshima as it has evolved since 1945. He then provides a historical overview of thye events in question, beginning with the decision and program to build the atomic bomb. Detailing the sequence of events leading to Japan's surrender, he revisits the decisive battles of the Pacific War and the motivations of American and Japanese leaders. Finally, Kort examines ten key issues in the discussion of Hiroshima and guides readers to relevant primary source documents, scholarly books, and articles.

Thinking Clearly

A polished and gripping political debut that Michael Connelly calls “an edge of your seat thriller,” Shining City is set in DC amid a harrowing Supreme Court nomination fight. “Amazing. . . . Pulses with momentum. . . . A debut that will be remembered for years.” —Michael Connelly Peter Rena is a “fixer.” He and his partner, Randi Brooks, earn their living making the problems of the powerful disappear. They get their biggest job yet when the White House hires them to vet the president’s nominee for the Supreme Court. Judge Roland Madison is a legal giant, but he’s a political maverick, with views that might make the already tricky confirmation process even more difficult. Rena and his team go full-bore to cover every inch of the judge’s past, while the competing factions of Washington D.C. mobilize with frightening intensity: ambitious senators, garrulous journalists, and wily power players on both sides of the aisle. All of that becomes background when a string of seemingly random killings overlaps with Rena’s investigation, with Judge Madison a possible target. Racing against the clock to keep his nominee safe, the President satisfied, and the political wolves at bay, Rena learns just how dangerous Washington’s obsession with power—how to get it and how to keep it—can be. Written with razor-sharp political insight and heart-pounding action, Shining City is a hugely impressive debut that announces a major new talent.

Local television newscasts around the country look alike and are filled with crime, accidents, and disasters. Interviews with more than 2,000 TV journalists around the country demonstrate that news looks this way because of the ingrained belief that 'eye-ball grabbers' are the only way to build an audience. This book contradicts the conventional wisdom using empirical evidence drawn from a five-year content analysis of local news in more than 154 stations in 50 markets around the country. The book shows that 'how' a story is reported is more important for building ratings than what the story is about. Local TV does not have to 'bleed to lead'. Instead local journalists can succeed by putting in the effort to get good stories, finding and balancing sources, seeking out experts, and making stories relevant to the local audience.

Featuring a new code of ethics for journalists and essays by 14 journalism thought leaders and practitioners, The New Ethics of Journalism: Principles for the 21st Century, by Kelly McBride and Tom Rosenstiel, examines the new pressures brought to bear on journalism by technology and changing audience habits. It offers a new framework for making critical moral choices, as well as case studies that reinforce the concepts and principles rising to prominence in 21st century communication. The book addresses the unique problems facing journalism today, including how we arrive at truth in an era of abundant and unverified information; the evolution of new business models and partnerships; the presence of journalists on independent social media platforms; the role of diversity; the meaning of stories; the value of images; and the role of community in the production of journalism.

Principles for the 21st Century

The New Ethics of Journalism

Escrito pelos jornalistas norte-americanos Bill Kovach e Tom Rosenstiel, o livro finalmente chega ao Brasil, com prefácio de Fernando Rodrigues, da Folha de S.Paulo. E já vem com o rótulo de leitura obrigatória para todo profissional da comunicação - e para todo cidadão que perceba como sua vida, seus pensamentos e sua cultura são diretamente influenciados pelas notícias e pelo jornalismo disponível. A idéia do livro surgiu após um encontro realizado em Harvard em 1997, que reuniu 25 dos mais importantes jornalistas norte-americanos para discutir o que havia acontecido com o jornalismo entre Watergate (1974) e Whitewater (era Clinton). Foi criado o Comitê dos Jornalistas Preocupados, que, dois anos depois, idealizou, sob a batuta de Kovach e de Rosenstiel, 21 fóruns reunindo mais de 3 mil pessoas e 300 jornalistas para debater se e como a imprensa livre pode sobreviver. Chegou-se à conclusão de que a finalidade do jornalismo é definida pela função exercida pelas notícias na vida das pessoas. E seu princípio mais importante seria, assim, o compromisso com a verdade, para que as pessoas disponham de informação para sua própria independência.

Os elementos do jornalismo

An intelligent and propulsive international political thriller in which political fixer Peter Rena is hired by the president to investigate the bombing of an American military base overseas When a shadowy American diplomatic complex is attacked in North Africa, the White House is besieged by accusations of incompetence and wild conspiracy theories. Eager to learn the truth, the president and his staff turn to Peter Rena and his partner, Randi Brooks. The investigators dive headfirst into the furtive world of foreign intelligence and national security, hoping to do it quietly. That becomes impossible, though, when it blows up into an all-out public scandal: Congress opens hearings and a tireless national security reporter publishes a bombshell exposé. Now, Rena and Brooks are caught in the middle. The White House wants to prevent debilitating fallout for the president, the military appears to be in shutdown mode, the press is hungry for another big story, and rival politicians are plotting their next move. Rena learns the hard way that secrets in Washington come with a very high price. With intelligence, style, and a breakneck pace, The Good Lie explores the contours of secrets, lies, and the dangers of a never-ending war. Praise for Shining City: “One of the smartest thrillers in recent memory.” —Dallas Morning News “A debut that will be remembered for years.” —Michael Connelly “Skillful and memorable.” —Wall Street Journal

The Good Lie

A masterful political thriller thrusts veteran Washington fixers Peter Rena and Randi Brooks into a dark world of cyberattacks, a new era of foreign espionage, and a risky, classified plan to save the world from environmental disaster Billionaire entrepreneur David Traynor has big dreams for fixing a broken government in his first term as president of the United States. In the months before his inauguration, he’s developed daring and, in some cases, secret strategies to solve the climate crisis, force Congress to work again, and rebuild America’s economy—and that’s just the beginning. Everyone in the capital is scrambling to adapt to the new disruptor in chief’s bold agenda, though many, both at home and abroad, also want to see Traynor and his steely vice president, Wendy Upton, fail. Unsure of whom he can trust, Traynor intends to turn to an unusual group of people to advise him, including the savvy and sometimes ruthless DC fixers Peter Rena and Randi Brooks. Though he is at the height of his career, Rena finds his world in chaos. His personal life is a mess; he wonders if his work—saving powerful people from their mistakes—has become too cynical. When malicious, untraceable cyberattacks related to his past start seeping from the dark corners of the internet, Rena’s doubts overwhelm him. Then an unpredictable tragedy throws the country into crisis, and he must come out of his stupor. If Rena wants to help the new president salvage American politics, he will first have to reckon with his own demons and come to grips with a world far different from the one he once believed in. With the government and the country polarized and on the cusp of enormous change, Tom Rosenstiel’s The Days to Come is a clever, gripping thriller and a cogent meditation on how to heal a divided country.

Las noticias satisfacen un impulso básico del hombre. Conocer lo que no podemos ver a través de los ojos nos proporciona seguridad, poder y confianza, y gracias a las noticias que leemos, que nos cuentan, a toda la información que recibimos se aplaca nuestro deseo innato de conciencia. Necesitamos información para vivir nuestra realidad diaria, para protegernos, para establecer vínculos, para identificar a nuestros amigos y a nuestros enemigos... El periodismo no es más que el sistema que las sociedades han creado para suministrar información, pero ¿qué diferencia al periodismo de otras formas de comunicación? ¿Cuáles deberían ser sus principios básicos, sus elementos fundamentales?Bill Kovach y Tom Rosenstiel, dos periodistas norteamericanos con una amplia trayectoria profesional, establecen en Los elementos del periodismo una serie de principios bien definidos (verdad, lealtad, verificación, independencia, foro público, significante sugerente y relevante, exhaustividad, respeto a la conciencia individual, control independiente del poder) que constituyen la esencia del periodismo y alientan a los ciudadanos a reivindicar una información de calidad que les permita ser capaces de gobernarse a ellos mismos, de ser libres.

Los elementos del periodismo

Written by professional journalists and classroom-tested at schools of journalism, these case studies are designed to provoke conversation about the issues that shape the production and presentation of the news in the new media age of the twenty-first century. The case studies cover a range of topics -- the commercial imperatives of newsroom culture, standards of verification, the competition of public and private interests, including the question of privacy -- in a variety of settings: Watergate, the Richard Jewell case, John McCain's 2000 presidential campaign, and the Columbine shooting, among others.

A breathless and highly charged political thriller: the story of a senator who is offered the vice presidential slot by both parties’ presidential nominees and then gets ominous threats It’s presidential primary season in Washington, DC, and both parties are on edge. At campaign rallies for all the candidates around the country, there are disturbing incidents of violence and protest and shocking acts of civil disobedience. Rena and Brooks are happy to sit it out. Against this backdrop, Wendy Upton, the highly respected centrist senator, must make a choice: she’s been offered the VP slot by both parties’ leading candidates. When she receives an anonymous, unnerving threat that could destroy her promising career, she hires Peter Rena to investigate her past and figure out which side is threatening her and what they are threatening her with. As Rena digs through the senator’s seemingly squeaky-clean past, he must walk the tightrope between two parties at war with each other and with themselves, an electorate that is as restive as it has ever been, and a political culture that is as much driven by money as it is by ideology.
