The six-volume Encyclopedia of Journalism covers all significant dimensions of journalism, including print, broadcast, and Internet journalism; U.S. and international perspectives; history; technology; legal issues and court cases; ownership; and economics.

"The legal protections for—and limitations on—the news media in gathering information for the public are splashed across the headlines. Access to sometimes secret governmental proceedings and records, undercover media investigations, newsgathering in virtual spaces, unauthorized recording, and subpoenas to reporters for their sources and their unpublished materials are the real business of those practicing in the area. The Sixth Edition includes a new chapter analyzing efforts to seal case dockets, the names of litigants, and entire court files, as well as newly added discussions of a host of other legal developments since the Fifth Edition was published, ranging from pandemic-era advances in courtroom technology to online newsgathering, the now-robust body of case law protecting the right to record the police, and the growing body of law invalidating statutes punishing journalists (and others) from gaining access to, and reporting on, private businesses."
