Online Journalism: The Essential Guide by Steve Hill & Dr. Paul Lashmar (SAGE)
Online and social media have become indispensable tools for journalists, but you still have to know how to find and tell a great story. To be a journalist today, you must have not only the practical skills to work with new technologies, but also the understanding of how and why journalism has changed.
An essential guide for anyone hungry to learn how journalism should be practised today, and will be tomorrow. Hill and Lashmar encapsulate the transformative impact of technology on journalism, but anchor those changes in the basic principles of reporting.

Reviews
'Despite one or two minor quibbles, this book is an exceedingly good read, an invaluable resource for students and lecturers alike and is currently the most engaging, practical and intellectual textbook of its type.'
'This book recognises that journalism and how we do it has changed forever. It offers practical advice on how to do mobile and social media journalism well, at the same time as engaging in the critical discourse around journalism. It will be an invaluable resource for journalism educators, students and journalists.’
Dr. Lily Canter, Sheffield Hallam University
Margaret Hughes, Chair of the AJE and Senior Lecturer in Journalism, University of the West of Scotland, UK
'The steady decline in circulation of the print media continues to be a source of deep concern: there is much talk of the slow death of our trade. This book is invaluable not only to students entering the field but also to those already there who may feel daunted by what the future holds for our working lives.'
