Praise for the first edition:
This collection of essays comes mainly from academics but nobody
should bridle at theorists lecturing practitioners. They properly
challenge the way September 11th was reported - in a way that's
both an endorsement of the role of the media and a wake-up call on
its failures . . . anyone interested in our trade should read it.'
- Roger Mosey, Ariel
'A thoughtful and engaging examination of the effects of 9/11 on
the field of journalism. Its unique aim is to discuss the impact of
the attack as a personal trauma and its current and future effects
on journalism and the reporting of the news. . . highly
recommended.' - Library Journal
Journalism After September 11 examines how the traumatic attacks
of that day continue to transform the nature of journalism,
particularly in the United States and Britain. Familiar notions of
what it means to be a journalist, how best to practice journalism,
and what the public can reasonably expect of journalists in the
name of democracy, were shaken to their foundations.
Ten years on, however, new questions arise regarding the lasting
implications of that tragic day and its aftermath.
Bringing together an internationally respected collection of
scholars and media commentators, Journalism After September 11
addresses topics such as: journalism and public life at a time of
crisis; broadsheet and tabloid newspaper coverage of the attacks;
the role of sources in shaping the news; reporting by global news
media such as CNN; Western representations of Islam; current
affairs broadcasting; news photography and trauma; the emotional
well-being of reporters; online journalism; as well as a host of
pertinent issues around news, democracy and citizenship.
This second edition includes four new chapters ? examining
Arabic newspaper reporting of the attacks, the perceptions of
television audiences, national magazine coverage of the ensuing
crisis, and the media politics of ?othering? ? as well as revised
chapters from the first edition and an updated Introduction by the
co-editors. A foreword is provided by Victor Navasky and an
afterword by Phillip Knightley.
