Bill Kovach

Co-author, with Tom Rosentiel, of The Elements of Journalism (published 2001), which Kyle read in 2017 and wrote up in 2017 in Books. Kyle picked the book up on a recommendation from Weller Book Works in Salt Lake City, motivated by the rise of “fake news” and a wish to learn something about news as a discipline, and noted that the book’s observation that time spent with the news had stayed “basically static” despite the growth in outlets was written in 2001.
