Recenzii
This practical guide was designed to help train potential journalists "to spot problematic reasoning so it can be questioned or corrected." Dividing her text into three parts, Sturgill employs contemporary news stories throughout to illustrate how facts can be presented in misleading ways. Each chapter ends with a "Your Turn" section, presenting reflective questions that challenge readers to practice the skill introduced in the chapter at hand. An appendix that includes possible answers to the questions makes this a resource that can be independently consulted by individuals seeking self-study.... More practical and pedagogical than similar works.this volume will serve as an affordable and accessible handbook for undergraduate students studying journalism, or any reader interested in improving their news evaluation skills. Recommended.
Detecting Deception is both readable and fun. Amanda Sturgill uses references from pop culture and current events to engage readers, and the Your Turn sections engage interactive thought. Students, professors and others will benefit from exploring the strategies used by senders of messages to build a case; however, Sturgill goes farther to give her audience strategies to identify and combat weak arguments. The work is well researched and includes insightful references
Truth is difficult to discern in today's news media, so this intelligent and pragmatic book arrives none too soon. Filled with relevant examples and new insights, Sturgill instructs us on how to sift through the plethora of messages that characterize today's complex and often divisive media environment; she does so with refreshingly crisp and clear writing. This is the foundation for identifying good journalism that we've been waiting for.
