In The Next Jour­nal­ism, one of the most influ­en­tial thinkers on media artic­u­lates how the press can rebuild trust with the pub­lic, make news more valu­able and bet­ter serve democ­ra­cy — a press­ing issue for Jews every­where. Rather than tech­no­log­i­cal, the real issue is that the press is offer­ing an out­dat­ed prod­uct, one inad­e­quate in an age when peo­ple no longer need the news­pa­per or TV to know the weath­er or traf­fic, to buy a house, know what’s on tv and more. Now that peo­ple find most of that else­where, the jour­nal­ism itself must become indis­pens­able. It must do more to help peo­ple live their lives and improve their com­mu­ni­ties. Jour­nal­ists must widen their def­i­n­i­tion of news beyond the neg­a­tive, the bizarre, and mon­i­tor­ing the pow­er­ful — some­thing the press does not do as well as it thinks. In 10 clear chap­ters, Tom Rosen­stiel, whose Ele­ments of Jour­nal­ism has been required read­ing in most jour­nal­ism schools for decades, explains how the press makes this trans­for­ma­tion and describes those who have already begun.
