Why News Matters cover

The right to a free press is guaranteed by the First Amendment, but it can be easy to take this freedom for granted. Why News Matters looks at the history of investigative journalism, including the scandals that reporters have uncovered and ways in which the world has changed for the better because of the efforts of these journalists. Easy-to-read text, vivid images, and helpful back matter give readers a clear look at this subject. Features include a table of contents, infographics, a glossary, additional resources, and an index. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards.

"Overall, I would highly recommend this series for an elementary school library." –School Library Connection "A welcome resource to strengthen media literacy skills in upper elementary schoolers." –School Library Journal "An important resource that will be especially useful in classroom discussions. –Booklist
