The phenomenon of convergence, also known as multiple-platform publishing or integrated journalism, means that the world over, media companies are integrating editorial operations of print, Web, and broadcast divisions. Quinn (journalism, Deakin U., Australia) provides a practical introduction to the changes taking place in news reporting, exploring how newsrooms in many countries are adapting and where journalism is headed next. (The text's handful of b&w photos of reporters and editors at work are a washed-out gray, and one newsroom does look remarkably like another.) Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
