'2021's most important book about sex.' Stylist 'You need to read this.' Mashable A bad sexual experience. A grey area. Not rape but... A violation - these are the terms we use to describe the experiences we don't have words for. The way we talk about topics such as sex, consent, assault aren't fit for purpose. Rough is a revolutionary non-fiction work exploring the narratives of sexual violence that we don't talk about. Through powerful testimony from 50 women and non-binary people, this book shines a light on the sexual violence that takes place in our bedrooms and beyond, sometimes at the hands of people we know, trust, or even love. Rough investigates violations such as 'stealthing,' non-consensual choking, and non-consensual rough sex acts that our culture is only starting to recognise as sexual violence. The book explores the ways in which systems of oppression manifest in our sexual culture - from racist microaggressions, to fatphobic acts of aggression, and ableist dehumanising behaviour. An intersectional, sex-positive, kink-positive work, the book also examines how white supremacy, transphobia, biphobia, homophobia, and misogyny are driving forces behind sexual violence. Rough is an urgent, timely call for change to the systems that oppress us all. It's time for a societal shift. As individuals with agency within our sexual culture we have the power to remodel our behaviour and this book shows us how. Praise for Rough 'An incredible investigation into a frighteningly common part of our sexual experience; determined to give ownership back to those who have had their agency stolen from them.' Dr Fern Riddell 'Unflinching. Important, thought-provoking read.' Nataliya Deleva 'Rough speaks to how many women often feel after sexual encounters - violated but unsure of exactly why, and whether our feelings are valid. This book is excellent and demonstrating just how valid those feelings are, and how the cultures of violence within sex that have been normalised intersect with wider systems of patriarchy, racism and misogyny.'

Die Informationsgesellschaft als Folge des technologischen und sozialen Wandels konfrontiert den Journalismus in Deutschland mit neuen Trends und neuen Anforderungen. Neue Technologien (z. B. der Generationswechsel bei elektronischen Redaktionssystemen) und okonomische Innovationen (z. B. die Einfuhrung des dualen Rundfunksystems) verandern Funktionen, Bedingungen und Organisation der journalistischen Arbeit auf vielfaltige Weise. In diesem Band werden - auf der Basis einer Expertenbefragung - die relevanten technologischen, okonomischen und redaktionellen Trends vorgestellt, die den Journalismus und die Journalistenausbildung von morgen schon heute pragen. Die Prognosen beziehen sich dabei auf die verschiedenen Tatigkeitsfelder im Journalismus sowie auf alle wichtigen Medienbereiche (Horfunk, Fernsehen, Printmedien, Nachrichtenagenturen). In einem Schwerpunktkapitel werden die Perspektiven von Frauen im Journalismus vorgestellt. Erganzt werden die Analysen durch Statements prominenter Journalisten zur Zukunft des Journalismus."

'This is a must read!' Vince Cable, former leader of the Liberal Democrats 'Reads like a rip roaring tale of a corporate high wire act' John McDonnell, former Shadow Chancellor 'Should be sold with a bottle of blood-pressure pills' Edward Lucas, The Times The proud owner of a sprawling GBP14m estate in the Cotswolds, boasting a stable of eventing horses, a fleet of supercars and neighbouring the royal family, Neil Woodford was the most celebrated and successful British investor of his generation. He spent years beating the market; betting against the dot com bubble in the 1990s and the banks before the financial crash in 2008, making blockbuster returns for his investors and earning himself a reputation of 'the man who made Middle England rich'. But, in 2019, after a stream of poorly-judged investments, Woodford's asset management company collapsed, trapping hundreds of thousands of rainy-day savers in his flagship fund and hanging GBP3.6 billion in the balance. In Built on a Lie, Financial Times reporter Owen Walker reveals the disastrous failings of Woodford, the greed at the heart of his operation, the flaws of an industry in thrall to its star performers and the dangers of limited regulation. With exclusive access to Woodford's inner circle, Walker will reveal the full, jaw-dropping story of Europe's biggest investment scandal in a decade.

Dieser Band beschreibt Journalismus als Funktionssystem der modernen ausdifferenzierten Gesellschaft. Mit den Instrumenten System- und Differenzierungstheorie lasst es sich als ein eigenstandiger sozialer Bereich konzipieren, der im Zuge des gesellschaftlichen Wandels entsteht, um aktuelle Informationen zur offentlichen Kommunikation zu vermitteln. Der Autor zeichnet die Geschichte des Journalismus im Kontext von politischen, wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Veranderungen nach und erlautert die Genese, Ausdifferenzierung und Verselbstandigung des modernen Journalismus in den Strukturbereichen journalistische Organisation, journalistische Rollen und journalistische Programme. Das Verhaltnis von Journalismus, Offentlichkeit und Gesellschaft erweist sich dabei als offene Dreierbeziehung."

Die ortliche Lebenswelt bedient sich der Lokalzeitung zur Konstruktion und Aufrechterhaltung einer spezifisch lokalen Welt(sicht). Lokalpresse in landlichen Kommunikationsraumen erfullt somit nicht, wie in gangigen normativen Funktionszuschreibungen angenommen, in erster Linie Kritik-, Kontroll- und Aufklarungsfunktionen. Sie erfullt in ihrer ritualisierten, symbolisierenden Art der Berichterstattung vielmehr eine konstitutive soziale Orientierungsleistung, die ausgerichtet ist auf (Selbst-)Bestatigung, Identifikation mit der ortlichen "Gemeinschaft" sowie Reproduktion von "Heimat" als einer Verhaltenssicherheit gewahrenden Vorstellung von intakter ortlicher Lebenswelt. Die umfangreiche quantitative wie qualitative Inhaltsanalyse basiert auf einer integrierenden Sekundarauswertung der einschlagigen sozial- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Literatur und verknupft kommunikations-, politik- und kulturwissenschaftliche Forschungsfragen

Der Band enthalt die Ergebnisse einer Pilotstudie, in der mit Hilfe einer neuartigen Methode exemplarisch die Kontakte zwischen einer Lokalredaktion und ihrer Aussenwelt ermittelt wurden. Es wird gezeigt, was aus den Gesprachen zwischen Journalisten und Burgern wird und welche Mechanismen schuld daran sind, dass manche Informationen untergehen, andere hingegen veroffentlicht werden. Das Buch bietet vollig neue Einblicke in die Zusammenarbeit von Informanten und Journalisten bei der Nachrichtenproduktion, es ist zugleich journalistische Selbstreflexion und wissenschaftliche Fortentwicklung."

Diese Arbeit entstand im Rahmen des Forschungsprojekts "Sprache und Vorurteil," das vom Oktober 1987 bis Oktober 1989 unter der Lei tung von Ruth Wodak am Institut fur Sprachwissenschaft an der Uni versitat Wien durchgefuhrt wurde. Dieses Projekt hatte sich zur Aufga be gesetzt, Ausserungsformen antisemitischer Vorurteile im Nach kriegsosterreich zu untersuchen, nachdem diese im Zuge der Affare "Waldheim" in der osterreichischen Offentlichkeit unuberhorbar gewor den waren und in Osterreich, sowie (in weit starkerem Ausmass) im Ausland zu scharfen Reaktionen gefuhrt hatten. Uber die unmittelbare Betroffenheit daruber, dass mehr oder weniger offener Antisemitismus nach 1945 in diesem Land wieder moglich geworden war, hinaus, lag das Interesse v. a. darauf, wie das offiziell am meisten geachtete Vorur teil trotzdem wieder eine Rolle in der politischen und offentlichen Aus einandersetzung spielen konnte. Ursprunglich nur als ein Kapitel der Untersuchung von Vorurteilen in den Printmedien konzipiert, erlangte dieser Teil des Projekts aufgrund der Fulle des Untersuchungsmateri als einen Umfang, der es sogar notwendig machte, die ungekurzte Version im Projektendbericht nur als Anhang zu veroffentlichen (vgl. PROJEKTTEAM "SPRACHE UND VORURTEIL," 1989, Bd. I und 11). Standen in der Projektarbeit v. a. Materialanalysen im Mittelpunkt, so versuche ich im Rahmen dieses Buches die verschiedenen Realisie rungsformen antisemitischer Vorurteile zu systematisieren und auf grund dieser Resultate die allgemeinen linguistischen Moglichkeiten Da Antisemitismus im von Vorurteilskommunikation herauszuarbeiten."

Die Qualifizierung und Rekrutierung fur Medienberufe enthalt im Prozess sozialen Wandels zu einer "Informationsgesellschaft" besondere Bedeutung. Was mussen Journalisten wissen und konnen, um den gestiegenen Anspruchen an ihre Kompetenz gerecht zu werden? Wie konnen sich Berufsaspiranten am besten auf den Journalismus vorbereiten? Welche Vorzuge und Nachteile haben die Ausbildungswege in die Medien? Diese Fragen werden in den 15 Originalbeitragen des Readers beantwortet. Sie enthalten nicht nur Informationen, sondern erstmals auch (empirische) Evaluationen zu allen Formen der Journalistenausbildung in der Bundesrepublik. Themen sind u.a. die in Stellenanzeigen nachgefragten Qualifikationen, die Weiterbildungsangebote fur Journalisten, die Didatik der Journalistenausbildung, die Qualitat der Lehrbucher zum Journalismus und die Berufschancen von Publizistik-Studenten."(...) Dem vorliegenden Reader ist das Erreichen seiner Zielsetzung voll zu bescheinigen. Er leistet - und das unterscheidet ihn durchaus von anderen einschlagigen Publikationen - eine weitreichende Problematisierung sowie vor allem empirisch gestutzte Evaluation der Qualifizierung fur die Medien und arbeitet damit einen bedeutenden Defizitbereich der Forschung auf. Trotz der Vielfalt der behandelten Einzelthemen bleibt der Problemzugriff insgesamt doch koharent, was durch haufige Querverweise unterstutzt wird. Berufsaspiranten, aber auch die Ausbilder selbst sollten nicht von der Lekture dieses wichtigen Beitrags absehen."Medienwissenschaft 1/91"(...) Das Buch empfiehlt sich nicht nur fur Berufsaspiranten, die sich uber die diversen Ausbildungswege ein Bild verschaffen wollen, sondern auch fur Journalisten, die nach Erganzungen suchen und die Anregungen zur Reflexion uber die Bedingungen ihres Berufes erwarten."Medium 1/92"

A compelling, wide-ranging collection of Karl Marx's journalism-available only from Penguin Classics
Karl Marx is arguably the most famous political philosopher of all time, but he was also one of the great foreign correspondents of the nineteenth century. Drawing on his eleven- year tenure at the New York "Tribune" (which began in 1852), this completely new collection presents Marx's writings on an abundance of topics, from issues of class and state to world affairs. Particularly moving pieces highlight social inequality and starvation in Britain, while others explore his groundbreaking views on the slave and opium trades. Throughout, Marx's fresh perspective on nineteenth-century events reveals a social consciousness that remains inspiring to this day.

In 1981 a young semi-professional footballer - known as `Imam Beckenbauer' for his piety and his dominant style of play - has his career cut short after a confrontation with Turkey's military junta. His name was Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and three decades later he is Turkey's most powerful ruler since Ataturk....' Turkey is a nation obsessed with football. From the flares which cover the stadium with multi-coloured smoke and often bring play to a halt, to the `conductors' - ultras who lead the `walls of sound' at matches, Turkish football has always been an awesome spectacle. And yet, in this politically fraught country, caught between the Middle East and the West, football has also always been so much more. From the fan groups resisting the government in the streets and stands, to ambitious politicians embroiling clubs in Machiavellian shenanigans, football in Turkey is a site of power, anger, and resistance. Journalist and football obsessive Patrick Keddie takes us on a wild journey through Turkey's role in the world's most popular game. He travels from the streets of Istanbul, where fans dodge tear gas and water cannons, to the plains of Anatolia, where women are fighting for their rights to wear shorts and play sports. He meets a gay referee facing death threats, Syrian footballers trying to piece together their shattered dreams, and Kurdish teams struggling to play football amid war. `The Passion' also tells the story of the biggest match-fixing scandal in European football, and sketches its murky connections to the country's leadership. In doing so he lifts the lid on a rarely glimpsed side of modern Turkey. Funny, touching and beautifully observed, this is the story of Turkey as we have never seen it before.

As a photojournalist, Feni spends a lot of time photographing service delivery strikes and protest in the townships. Often the images that make it into the newspapers are only of the looting and burnings. Renting a backyard room in an informal settlement, Feni was troubled by this kind of portrayal of the lack of service delivery and the life of the marginalised.

As he says, “I live at the back of an RDP house in Mfuleni on the Cape Flats. I experience issues like poor sanitation, access to clean water and the flooding first hand”. Photographing the lack of sanitation was not pleasant for him, but he did not want a photographer from outside the community telling their stories while he watched on. “That too would be a Drain on Our Dignity and that’s what inspired this project”.

A Drain On Our Dignity echoes the ground-breaking images produced by Ernest Cole in the early 1960s, showing black life under apartheid. It is a sensitive and honest look at what lack of services is, what it does to a community and what it does to a people.

Without the screaming, fighting or burning – these captivating images compel the reader to look at what is happening in the Cape Town townships.

Winner of the Victor Villasenor Best Latino Focused Nonfiction Book Award - English, from the 2022 International Latino Book Awards What defines the boundary between fact and fabrication, fiction and nonfiction, literature and journalism? Latin American Documentary Narratives unpacks the precarious testimonial relationship between author and subject, where the literary journalist, rather than the subject being interviewed, can become the hero of a narrative in its recording and retelling. Latin American Documentary Narratives covers a variety of nonfiction genres from the 1950s to the 2000s that address topics such as social protests, dictatorships, natural disasters, crime and migration in Latin America. This book analyzes - and includes an appendix of interviews with - authors who have not previously been critically read together, from the early and emblematic works of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Elena Poniatowska to more recent authors, like Leila Guerriero and Juan Villoro, who are currently reshaping media and audiences in Latin America. In a world overwhelmed by data production and marked by violent acts against those considered 'others', Liliana Chavez Diaz argues that storytelling plays an essential role in communication among individuals, classes and cultures.

Mexico, April 2009. The bodies of pair of undercover military intelligence agents, disguised as campesinos (farmers), are dumped by the side of the road. Beside the corpses is a message on a scrap of paper: "You'll never get El Chapo." Authorities did - but only after the largest manhunt in history (and the help of Sean Penn). Now, the world's most wanted drug lord, who in 2015 escaped prison by riding motorbikes over metal rails through a 1.5km tunnel dug in the showers and was named the 14th richest man in the world by Forbes, is awaiting trial in the US, and the subject of a smash Netflix series. This is the inside story of a man behind it all, a man who is still hailed as a folk hero despite having bribed or killed politicians, police and soldiers with impunity, and exported over 500 tonnes of cocaine to America alone. Through reportage and interviews with rival narcos, police and DEA sources, The Last Narco masterfully reveals a brutal war between the cartels, staggering state corruption, and the struggle to bring one man to justice.

The first comprehensive collection of the words and works of a movement-defining artist. Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) burst onto the art scene in the summer of 1980 as one of approximately one hundred artists exhibiting at the 1980 Times Square Show in New York City. By 1982, at the age of twenty-one, Basquiat had solo exhibitions in galleries in Italy, New York, and Los Angeles. Basquiat's artistic career followed the rapid trajectory of Wall Street, which boomed from 1983 to 1987. In the span of just a few years, this Black boy from Brooklyn had become one of the most famous American artists of the 1980s. The Jean-Michel Basquiat Reader is the first comprehensive sourcebook on the artist, closing gaps that have until now limited the sustained study and definitive archiving of his work and its impact. Eight years after his first exhibition, Basquiat was dead, but his popularity has only grown. Through a combination of interviews with the artist, criticism from the artist's lifetime and immediately after, previously unpublished research by the author, and a selection of the most important critical essays on the artist's work, this collection provides a full picture of the artist's views on art and culture, his working process, and the critical significance of his work both then and now.

A TLS and a Prospect Book of the Year A revelatory, explosive new analysis of the military today. Over the first two decades of the twenty-first century, Britain has changed enormously. During this time, the British Army fought two campaigns, in Iraq and Afghanistan, at considerable financial and human cost. Yet neither war achieved its objectives. This book questions why, and provides challenging but necessary answers. Composed from assiduous documentary research, field reportage, and hundreds of interviews with many soldiers and officers who served, as well as the politicians who directed them, the allies who accompanied them, and the family members who loved and - on occasion - lost them, it is a strikingly rich, nuanced portrait of one of our pivotal national institutions in a time of great stress. Award-winning journalist Simon Akam, who spent a year in the army when he was 18, returned a decade later to see how the institution had changed. His book examines the relevance of the armed forces today - their social, economic, political, and cultural role. This is as much a book about Britain, and about the politics of failure, as it is about the military.

In Atomic Bill, Vincent Kiernan examines the fraught career of New York Times science journalist, William L. Laurence and shows his professional and personal lives to be a cautionary tale of dangerous proximity to power. Laurence was fascinated with atomic science and its militarization. When the Manhattan Project drew near to perfecting the atomic bomb, he was recruited to write much of the government's press materials that were distributed on the day that Hiroshima was obliterated. That instantly crowned Laurence as one of the leading journalistic experts on the atomic bomb. As the Cold War dawned, some assessed Laurence as a propagandist defending the militarization of atomic energy. For others, he was a skilled science communicator who provided the public with a deep understanding of the atomic bomb. Laurence leveraged his perch at the Times to engage in paid speechmaking, book writing, filmmaking, and radio broadcasting. His work for the Times declined in quality even as his relationships with people in power grew closer and more lucrative. Atomic Bill reveals extraordinary ethical lapses by Laurence such as a cheating scandal at Harvard University and plagiarizing from press releases about atomic bomb tests in the Pacific. In 1963 a conflict of interest related to the 1964 World's Fair in New York City led to his forced retirement from the Times. Kiernan shows Laurence to have set the trend, common among today's journalists of science and technology, to prioritize gee-whiz coverage of discoveries. That approach, in which Laurence served the interests of governmental official and scientists, recommends a full revision of our understanding of the dawn of the atomic era.
