The Bloomsbury Handbook of Radio presents exciting new research on
radio and audio, including broadcasting and podcasting. Since the
birth of radio studies as a distinct subject in the 1990s, it has
matured into a second wave of inquiry and scholarship. As broadcast
radio has partly given way to podcasting and as community
initiatives have pioneered more diverse and innovative approaches
so scholars have embarked on new areas of inquiry. Divided into
seven sections, the Handbook covers: - Communities - Entertainment
- Democracy - Emotions - Listening - Studying Radio - Futures The
Bloomsbury Handbook of Radio is designed to offer academics,
researchers and practitioners an international, comprehensive
collection of original essays written by a combination of
well-established experts, new scholars and industry practitioners.
Each section begins with an introduction by Hugh Chignell and
Kathryn McDonald, putting into context each contribution, mapping
the discipline and capturing new directions of radio research,
while providing an invaluable resource for radio studies.

For many individuals, pornography is a troubling and problematic
issue. Regardless of how the public views this topic, one thing is
clear: Pornography is as prevalent and accessible as smartphones
and laptop computers. Indeed, beyond traditional hardcore material,
a pornographic sensibility can be seen permeating all aspects of
culture from tween and young teen fashions to television and
commercially successful films. In fact, pornography is so
widespread that more often than not it is taken as a given in our
modern social space. We assume all people look at or know about
pornography, but to some, the thought of engaging in intellectual
discussions about the topic strikes many particularly scholars as
beneath them. And yet something this impactful, this definitive of
modern culture, needs to be laid open to scrutiny. In The
Philosophy of Pornography: Contemporary Perspectives, Lindsay
Coleman and Jacob M. Held offer a collection of essays covering a
wide range of viewpoints from issues of free speech and porn s role
in discrimination to the impact of porn on sexuality. These essays
investigate the philosophical implications of pornography as a part
of how we now seek to conceive and express our sexuality in
contemporary life. Contributors to this volume discuss:
.pornography as a component of gender and sexual socialization
.ecological understandings of sexually explicit media
.subordination, sexualization, and speech .feminism and pornography
.pornography s depiction of love and friendship .black women and
pornography .playfulness, creativity, and porn s possibilities
Because its subject matter sex, gender, interpersonal
relationships, and even love is reflective of who we are and what
kind of society we want to create, pornography demands serious
treatment. So whether one chooses to accept pornography as a fact
of modern culture or not, this collection of timely essays
represents a variety of voices in the ongoing debate. As such, The
Philosophy of Pornography will be of interest to not only those who
are engaged in porn studies but also to an audience educated in and
conversant with recent trends in philosophy."
Communicating archaeological heritage at the institutional level
reflects on the current status of archeology, and a lack of
communication between archaeologists and the general public only
serves to widen the gap of understanding. As holders of this
specific scientific expertise, effective openness and communication
is essential to understanding how a durable future can be built
through comprehension of the past and the importance of heritage
sites and collections. Developing Effective Communication Skills in
Archaeology is an essential research publication that examines
archeology as a method for present researchers to interact and
communicate with the past, and as a methods for identifying the
overall trends in the needs of humanity as a whole. Presenting a
vast range of topics such as digital transformation, artificial
intelligence, and heritage awareness, this book is essential for
archaeologists, journalists, heritage managers, sociologists,
educators, anthropologists, museum curators, historians,
communication specialists, industry professionals, researchers,
academicians, and students.
Japanese manga comic books have attracted a devoted global
following. In the popular press manga is said to have "invaded" and
"conquered" the United States, and its success is held up as a
quintessential example of the globalization of popular culture
challenging American hegemony in the twenty-first century. In Manga
in America - the first ever book-length study of the history,
structure, and practices of the American manga publishing industry
- Casey Brienza explodes this assumption. Drawing on extensive
field research and interviews with industry insiders about
licensing deals, processes of translation, adaptation, and
marketing, new digital publishing and distribution models, and
more, Brienza shows that the transnational production of culture is
an active, labor-intensive, and oft-contested process of
"domestication." Ultimately, Manga in America argues that the
domestication of manga reinforces the very same imbalances of
national power that might otherwise seem to have been transformed
by it and that the success of Japanese manga in the United States
actually serves to make manga everywhere more American.

Award A behind-the-scenes account of how death is presented in the
media Death is considered one of the most newsworthy events, but
words do not tell the whole story. Pictures are also at the
epicenter of journalism, and when photographers and editors
illustrate fatalities, it often raises questions about how they
distinguish between a "fit" and "unfit" image of death. Death Makes
the News is the story of this controversial news practice:
picturing the dead. Jessica Fishman uncovers the surprising
editorial and political forces that structure how the news and
media cover death. The patterns are striking, overturning long-held
assumptions about which deaths are newsworthy and raising
fundamental questions about the role that news images play in our
society. In a look behind the curtain of newsrooms, Fishman
observes editors and photojournalists from different types of
organizations as they deliberate over which images of death make
the cut, and why. She also investigates over 30 years of
photojournalism in the tabloid and patrician press to establish
when the dead are shown and whose dead body is most newsworthy,
illustrating her findings with high-profile news events, including
recent plane crashes, earthquakes, hurricanes, homicides, political
unrest, and war-time attacks. Death Makes the News reveals that
much of what we think we know about the news is wrong: while the
patrician press claims that they do not show dead bodies, they are
actually more likely than the tabloid press to show them-even
though the tabloids actually claim to have no qualms showing these
bodies. Dead foreigners are more likely to be shown than American
bodies. At the same time, there are other unexpected but vivid
patterns that offer insight into persistent editorial forces that
routinely structure news coverage of death. An original view on the
depiction of dead bodies in the media, Death Makes the News opens
up new ways of thinking about how death is portrayed.
Daar doer in die fliek sluit aan by die televisiereeks met
dieselfde naam wat op kykNet uitgesaai is. Die omvangryke boek gee
'n oorsig oor die ontwikkeling van Afrikaanse rolprente vanaf die
heel vroegste stilprente tot en met die heel nuutste rolprente van
ons tyd. Die geskiedenis begin met die dokumentere films wat tydens
die Anglo-Boereoorlog gemaak is en die epiese De Voortrekkers uit
die tyd van die stilprente. Daarna word gedetailleerde aandag aan
elke dekade van die 20ste eeu gegee met belangrike figure soos
Pierre de Wet, Jamie Uys, Emil Nofal Jans Rautenbach, Katinka
Heyns, Leon Schuster en Dirk de Villiers. Die titel is ontleen aan
Jamie Uys se baanbreker-rolprent van 1951, Daar doer in die
bosveld, wat die begin was van Uys se hoogs suksesvolle loopbaan
met rolprente soos Lord oom Piet en die internasionale treffer The
gods must be crazy. Van Nierop kon gebruik maak van skaars
rolprente in KykNet se videoteek en in die Nasionale filmargief.
Talle onderhoude met akteurs, regisseurs en vervaardigers gee
eerstehandse inligting oor die vervaardiging van bekende en
suksesvolle rolprente. Alhoewel die klem op Afrikaanse rolprente
val, word ook na baanbreker-rolprente in Engels en die inheemse
tale verwys. Ten slotte word besondere aandag gegee aan die opbloei
van die Afrikaanse rolprente in die eerste twee dekades van die
21ste eeu, waardeur talentvolle mense die geleentheid kry om aan
hul drome uiting te gee. Die boek is Leon van Nierop se huldeblyk
aan een van die oudste rolprentindustriee in die wereld. Die
ontwikkeling van die Suid-Afrikaanse rolprentkuns word met 'n groot
aantal foto’s geillustreer.
With their only son on the brink of adolescence, the
nouveaux-riches Sherbornes move away from the city to start a new,
gentrified existence on a three-hundred-acre farm-or "estate"-in
Taonga, New Zealand. But life on the farm is anything but
wholesome. Sherborne evokes his family's slide into madness through
a series of unforgettable, hilarious portraits: of "Feet," his
once-glamorous mother, now addled with snobbery, paranoia, and
mental illness; of "The Duke," his uncomprehending, sporadically
violent father; and of himself, the "Lord Muck" of the title, at
once helpless victim and ruthless agent of their undoing, who in
the end must decide whether he can save his family. Clear-sighted,
lyrical, and marvelously funny, Muck has been widely hailed as a
masterpiece. It is a heartrending memoir of family discord and an
exquisite story of a young artist in search of a self.
The defeat of George Armstrong Custer and the Seventh Cavalry at
the Battle of the Little Bighorn was big news in 1876. Newspaper
coverage of the battle initiated hot debates about whether the U.S.
government should change its policy toward American Indians and who
was to blame for the army's loss--the latter, an argument that
ignites passion to this day. In "Shooting Arrows and Slinging Mud,
"James E. Mueller draws on exhaustive research of period newspapers
to explore press coverage of the famous battle. As he analyzes a
wide range of accounts--some grim, some circumspect, some even
laced with humor--Mueller offers a unique take on the dramatic
events that so shook the American public.
Among the many myths surrounding the Little Bighorn is that
journalists of that time were incompetent hacks who, in response to
the stunning news of Custer's defeat, called for bloodthirsty
revenge against the Indians and portrayed the "boy general" as a
glamorous hero who had suffered a martyr's death. Mueller argues
otherwise, explaining that the journalists of 1876 were not
uniformly biased against the Indians, and they did a credible job
of describing the battle. They reported facts as they knew them,
wrote thoughtful editorials, and asked important questions.
Although not without their biases, journalists reporting on the
Battle of the Little Bighorn cannot be credited--or faulted--for
creating the legend of Custer's Last Stand. Indeed, as Mueller
reveals, after the initial burst of attention, these journalists
quickly moved on to other stories of their day. It would be art and
popular culture--biographies, paintings, Wild West shows, novels,
and movies--that would forever embed the Last Stand in the American
psyche.
Media outlets play a pivotal role in fostering the positive and
beneficial development of countries in modern society. By properly
informing citizens of critical national concerns, the media can
help to transform society and promote active participation.
Exploring Journalism Practice and Perception in Developing
Countries is a crucial reference source for the latest scholarly
material on the impacts of development journalism on contemporary
nations and the media's responsibility to inform citizens of
government and non-government activities. Highlighting a range of
pertinent topics such as media regulation, freedom of expression,
and new media technology, this book is ideally designed for
researchers, academics, professionals, policy makers, and students
interested in the role of journalist endeavors in developing
nations.
The increasing shift towards digital publishing has provoked much
debate concerning the issues surrounding ?'Open Access?' (OA),
including its economic implications. This timely book considers how
the future of academic publishing might look in a purely digital
environment and utilises unique empirical data in order to analyze
the experiences of researchers with, as well as attitudes towards,
OA publishing. Presenting findings from a novel, in-depth survey
with more than 10,000 respondents from 25 countries, this book
shows that the research culture of scientific research differs
considerably between disciplines and countries. These differences
significantly determine the role of both '?gold?' and '?green?'
forms of OA and foster both opportunity and risk. Discussing their
findings in the light of recent policy attempts to foster OA,
Thomas Eger and Marc Scheufen reveal considerable shortcomings and
lack of knowledge on fundamental features of the academic
publishing market and conclude by highlighting a policy agenda for
its future development. Well-timed and far-reaching, this book will
be of particular interest to students and scholars interested in
the economic analysis of copyright law. Academic librarians and
research sponsors will also benefit from the insights offered.
