Gr 9 Up—How do we differentiate between a blog and news website? With print journalism outlets on the decline and self-publishers on the rise, how can we determine what information is truthful? What ethical obligations do reporters have? These are some of the pertinent questions that this series explores. Well written and well researched, with sharp insights, powerful photographs, and relevant examples, this set is a winner. Issues of great interest to teenagers, including censorship, self-expression, and social media, are explored in great depth. Fromm seamlessly weaves moments from history into contemporary debates. Although this series seems timely, most stories will not become dated even as social media develops.
VERDICT Highly recommended for advanced, intellectually motivated readers.
