Internet Resources for
Journalism

"Journalism can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air."
--Henry Anatole Grunwald, Time, Fall 1983 
  

Library Resources

Sometimes the Internet is not the best or fastest resource to use to get information. There are many excellent astronomy encyclopedias and dictionaries in the reference areas of campus libraries as well as books that can be borrowed from the library. There are also e-books that can be read online.

You can also search by keywords and phrases, such as trends in media (i.e. newspaper, radio, television, film, and books,) writing, interviewing techniques, journalism, editing, news reporting, mass communication, etc. You can use such terms to search periodical indexes for magazine and journal articles or to search the Internet.

Remember that you can ask a reference librarian to assist you with your research, in person in the library, by telephone, or online.
