The Future of News

If you think news should be fair and objective... it may be you are simply too young.

As Bruce Williams points out, less than a century ago, journalistic norms were far different than what many of us expect today.

Now those norms are undergoing a sea-change once again.

The Virginia author takes us through both the history, and possible future, of news.
