Special attention is given to the theme young and adult.

Titel 5

21st century journalism

What is journalism today? We discover similarities and differences between printed newspapers of the 20th century and the plethora of news sources in the digital age. Traditional terms of news analysis such as the broadsheet/tabloid distinction and the inverted news pyramid guide us through the current situation of journalism in the US and the UK.
