Journalism in the Generation Z Age

This book examines the ways in which Generation Z engages with and affects both traditional and emerging sources of journalism and media. The authors combine existing data and theory with original experiments to illustrate that, while Gen Z's journalism experiences are fundamentally different, the traditional theories continue to generally apply.
