About the Book

Master's Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1.0, Humboldt-University of Berlin (Amerikanistik und Anglistik), language: English, abstract: In a 2009 report, titled "The Resurrection of American Journalism", Leonard Downie Jr., former executive editor of the Washington Post, and Michael Schudson, professor of journalism point out: "American journalism is at a transformational moment in history."

So when search engines, aggregators, bloggers, and Twitterers link to content, they are not stealing; they are giving the gift of attention and audience.
