What emerges from this study is a greatly complicated and enriched picture of the roles journalists play in our ever more complex, media-saturated world. The first chapters show that the terms World Wide Web, symbolic interaction, social construction of media, and convergence of meaning name current American social, psychological, epistemological and political movements that revolve around the interactive construction process of knowledge rather than the one-way delivery that characterizes traditional journalism.
