Live! Breaking story! Up-to-the-minute coverage! We hear these teasers every day. But do they always guide us to real news? With the explosive growth of online news and increased barrage of sensational live shots on TV, getting a story first seems more important than getting it right. In Going Live, veteran journalist Philip Seib warns of the dangers of trivialized news and sloppy ethics in this ânew newsâ age. Whether you love or hate the news media, this is an indispensable look at where journalism is headingâ"and how we can sort out whatâs important and accurate in the news we get in an ever-faster moving stream.

Industry Reviews

At a time when front-page news can't keep up with homepage news, Philip Seib has taken the time to carefully consider the impact of technology, competition, and business pressure on the continuous deadlines that almost all journalists now face. Like an airborne TV camera crew, Seib follows the high-speed chase for real-time news, but with all the perspective and detail that consumers should rightly expect from any editorial coverage they read or watch--in print, on the air, and online.--Mark Stencel, politics editor for washingtonpost.com
