Two recent works, a book and a Web site, may be useful supplementary texts for educators looking to explore the values, worldview, and socialization of journalists.
The Mind of a Journalist is a slim textbook that features interviews with a dozen journalists on the attraction of journalism and the values that shape the craft, along with topical issues such as anonymous sources, the journalist as a celebrity, and the influence of religious faith on reporting.
