While heightened in recent years, such controversy is not new and could in fact be considered a hallmark of the profession. With this in mind, this book presents original perspectives into issues and debates regarding the role of journalism in America, journalistic objectivity and ethics, diversity and representation, war and conflict reporting, local news, fake news, and hostility towards journalists. Each of the seven sections begins with a topical overview and ends with a short essay written by a leader in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIssues in Contemporary American Journalism is \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eList of Contributors\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePreface\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHans C.
