It's easy to make a rhetorical case for the value of journalism.
Because, it is a necessary precondition for democracy; it speaks to
the people and for the people; it informs citizens and enables them
to make rational decisions; it functions as their watchdog on
government and other powers that be. But does rehashing such
familiar rationales bring journalism studies forward? Does it
contribute to ongoing discussions surrounding journalism's
viability going forth? For all their seeming self-evidence, this
book considers what bearing these old platitudes have in the new
digital era. It asks whether such hopeful talk really reflects the
concrete roles journalism now performs for people in their everyday
lives. In essence, it poses questions that strike at the core of
the idea of journalism itself. Is there a singular journalism that
has one well-defined role in society? Is its public mandate as
strong as we think? The internationally-renowned scholars
comprising the collection address these recurring concerns that
have long-defined the profession and which journalism faces even
more acutely today. By discussing what journalism was, is, and
(possibly) will be, this book highlights key contemporary areas of
debate and tackles on-going anxieties about its future.
