Today, the familiar news organizations of the legacy press are operating in a fragmenting and expanding mediaverse that
resembles a big bang of proliferating online competitors that are challenging the very definition of news itself. Audience-powered sites such as Huffington Post and Vox blend conventional political reporting with opinion blogs, celebrity gossip, and other ephemera aimed at getting clicks and shares. At the same time, the rise of serious investigative organizations such as ProPublica presents yet a different challenge to legacy journalism. Lance Bennett's thoroughly revised tenth edition offers the most up-to-date guide to understanding how and why the media and news landscapes are being transformed. It explains the mix of old and new, and points to possible outcomes. Where areas of change are clearly established, key concepts from earlier editions have been revised. There are new case studies, updates on old favorites, and insightful analyses of how the new media system and novel kinds of information and engagement are affecting our politics. As always, News : The Politics of Illusion presents fresh evidence and arguments that invite new ways of thinking about the political information system and its place in democracy.
