Particularly powerful are chapters on First Amendment rights and social media's influence on journalism... A thorough and engaging resource""--Booklist ""A NewsHound's Guide to Student Journalism is a fantastic, real-world text that educates students through clever scenarios that truly show how scholastic media operates.
