Looking at the future of their field in the age of the blogger and media convergence, journalists Friend (Utica College, New York) and Singer (first news manager, Prodigy computer service) address the central question of: who is a journalist? They regard digital journalists as being as legitimate as traditional ones if their role has a comparable ethical basis. The book includes dialogues on related legal and commercial issues, examples of questionable online "reporting," and codes of ethics for journalists of all types.
