How Journalism Uses History examines the various ways in which
journalism uses history and historical sources in order to better
understand the relationships between journalists, historians and
journalism scholars. It highlights the ambiguous overlap between
the role of the historian and that of the journalist, and
underlines that there no longer seems to be reason to accept that
one begins only where the other ends.
With Journalism Studies as a developing subject area throughout
the world, journalism history is becoming a particularly vivacious
field. As such, How Journalism Uses History argues that, if
historical study of this kind is to achieve its full potential,
there needs to be a fuller and more consistent engagement with
other academics studying the past: political, social and cultural
historians in particular, but also scholars working in politics,
sociology, literature and linguistics.
Contributors in this book discuss the core themes which inform
history s relationship with journalism from a wide range of
geographical and methodological perspectives. They aim to create
more ambitious conversations about using journalism both as a
source for understanding the past, and for clarifying ideas about
its role as constituent of the public sphere in using discourse and
tradition to connect contemporary audiences with history.
This book was originally published as a special issue of
Journalism Practice."
