As the world of politics and public affairs has gradually changed
beyond recognition over the past two decades, journalism too has
been transformed... yet the study of news and journalism often
seems stuck with ideas and debates which have lost much of their
critical purchase. Journalism is at a crossroads: it needs to
reaffirm core values and rediscover key activities, almost
certainly in new forms, or it risks losing its distinctive
character as well as its commercial basis. Journalism Studies is a
polemical textbook that rethinks the field of journalism studies
for the contemporary era. It is the politics, philosophy and
economics of journalism, presented as a logical reconstruction of
its historical development. This book offers a critical
reassessment of conventional themes in the academic analysis of
journalism, and sets out a positive proposal for what we should be
studying. Organised around three central themes -- ownership,
objectivity and the public -- Journalism Studies addresses the
contexts in which journalism is produced, practised and
disseminated. It outlines key issues and debates, reviewing
established lines of critique in relation to the state of
contemporary journalism, then offering alternative ways of
approaching these issues, seeking to reconceptualise them in order
to suggest an agenda for change and development in both journalism
studies and journalism itself. Journalism Studies advocates a
mutually reinforcing approach to both the practice and the study of
journalism, exploring the current sense that journalism is in
crisis, and offering a cool appraisal of the love-hate relationship
between journalism and the scholarship which it frequently disowns.
This is a concise and accessible introduction to contemporary
journalism studies, and will be highly useful to undergraduate and
postgraduate students on a range of Journalism, Media and
Communications courses.
