When we share or receive good or bad news, from ordinary events
such as the birth of a child to public catastrophes such as 9/11,
our "old" lives come to an end, and suddenly we enter a new world.
In "Bad News, Good News, Douglas W. Maynard explores how we tell
and hear such news, and what's similar and different about our
social experiences when the tidings are bad rather than good or
vice versa.
Uncovering vocal and nonvocal patterns in everyday conversations,
clinics, and other organizations, Maynard shows practices by which
people give and receive good or bad news, how they come to realize
the news and their new world, how they suppress or express their
emotions, and how they construct social relationships through the
sharing of news. He also reveals the implications of his study for
understanding public affairs in which transmitting news may
influence society at large, and he provides recommendations for
professionals and others on how to deliver bad or good tidings more
effectively.
For anyone who wants to understand the interactional facets of news
delivery and receipt and their social implications, "Bad News, Good
News offers a wealth of scholarly insights and practical advice.
