""The authors are familiar with the emerging jargon of media
convergence and they define large parts of it well. They have also
laboured impressively to gather and define useful examples of
journalese ...This book is a labour of love that reflects immense
care and learning. It makes a helpful contribution to a fledgling
field of academia and to uniting the cultures of news and
journalism studies."
Tim Luckhurst, University of Kent, UK
" This comprehensive glossary offers clear and insightful
definitions of the most significant keywords in news and journalism
studies.
Ranging from 'above the fold' to 'zinger', and with over 400
terms in between, it covers words associated with newspapers, radio
and television news, magazines, photojournalism and internet
reporting. Other examples include 'agenda setting', 'libel', 'news
values', 'objectivity, ' 'scoop' and 'tabloidization'.
Written by two of the field's leading scholars, it offers an
informed perspective on the key terms. It considers a range of
genres, including business, crime, environmental, fashion,
lifestyle, investigative, science, sports and war journalism as
well as looking at new alternatives such as 'Wikinews' and
'Twitter'.
This lively and engaging treatment will provide students,
researchers and journalists with a solid grounding in the
fast-moving vocabulary of news and journalism studies.
