REVIEW: Rocking the dinghy gently

Abstract

Review of What's News? Reclaiming Journalism in New Zealand, edited by Judy McGregor and Margie Comrie. Palmerston North: Dunmore Press, 2002. What's News? has tried to steer a middle course between academic research and commentary and does offer the general reader a sound introduction to the various media issues raised. It has rocked the dinghy gently but not so hard that anbody is likely to fall overboard and get soaked.
