Profiles in Journalism

The common perception regarding journalists is limited to being reporters of news and views. However, the book Profiles in Journalism goes beyond this facile understanding to elaborate their deep involvement in the in-depth analysis of issues and concerns facing the world, and suggesting practical solutions. The fact that most of them are prolific writers and authors adds credence to this perspective. And this is greatly relevant to the world today. Profiles in Journalism is a sourcebook that offers a rare opportunity to explore 28 journalists who made journalism exhilarating."e;There is a manifested absence of authoritative books on the Indian Newspaper World. This is a challenge which today's students of journalism face. This book is an attempt by an eminent teacher to fill the gap."e;—Thomas Jacob, Former Editorial Director of Malayala Manorama
