This edited collection brings together leading scholars from around
the world to discuss the consequences and implications of
precarious labor conditions within the modern news industry. In 14
original chapters, contributors address global concerns in
journalism across all platforms, based on the assumption that
unstable employment conditions affect the extent to which
journalists can continue to play their historically crucial role in
sustaining democracies. Topics discussed include work conditions
for freelancers and entrepreneurial journalists as well as the
risks facing conflict reporters, precarity in media start-ups,
unionization and other collective efforts, policies regulating
journalistic labor around the world, and the impact of hedge fund
money on newswork. Drawing on case studies and data from South
America, Africa, the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United
Kingdom, and continental Europe, the book highlights how media
outlets are forcing newsworkers to work harder for less money, and
few countries are proactive in alleviating the precarity of
journalists. Newswork and Precarity is a valuable addition to an
important still-emerging area in journalism studies that will be of
interest to both professionals and scholars of journalism, media
studies, sociology, and labor history.
