Riassunto

Global Journalism Research offers a diversity of theoretical and methodological approaches for studying journalists and journalism around the world. It charts the opportunities and challenges facing journalism research in an increasingly global field.

• Brings together an elite team of contributors to create a comprehensive overview of journalism research and its different approaches, methods, and paradigms around the world
• Examines the impact of developments in journalism that have resulted in it becoming an international phenomenon with global networks, no longer able to operate solely within national or cultural borders
• Considers the theoretical frameworks necessary for journalists to embrace recent economic, political, and cultural changes - impacting on our basic definitions of journalism
• Explores the issue of the increasingly blurring line between entertainment and news, as well as the formerly clear division between journalism, public relations and business communication
• Draws on examples of journalism research from Asia, Africa, Western and Eastern Europe, and North and Latin America

Dalla quarta di copertina

Global Journalism Research offers a wide variety of theoretical and methodological approaches for studying journalists and journalism around the world at a time when economic, political, and cultural forces are changing journalism dramatically. In addition, it presents a diverse range of journalism research from Asia, Africa, Europe, and North and Latin America.

As journalism has become a global phenomenon with global networks, journalism research can no longer operate within national or cultural borders. This book draws on a diverse range of global examples, including research from Asia, Africa, Western and Eastern Europe, and North and Latin America. In doing so, it builds an agenda that charts the opportunities and challenges facing journalism research in a globally interconnected field.
