In addition to a useful glossary of terms, the free pdf available from the Newspaper Association of America Found-ation offers a simple and up-to-date primer on the concept of producing and consuming newspapers.
In addition to its value as an introduction to newspaper production in a beginning journalism class, it also offers discussion points and simple lessons on how and why newspaper communication exists.
It is so recent that it even mentions digital journalism.
Although it is published by NAA, I found the pdf on the American Press Institute’s website.
