This new and highly readable textbook by Richard M. Perloff
introduces students to the complex world of contemporary news and
its theoretical underpinnings, engaging with debates and ethical
quandaries. The book takes readers on a concept-guided tour of the
contours, continuities, and changing features of news. It covers a
huge breadth of topics including: the classic theories of what news
should do, its colorful history in America and popular myths of
news, the overarching forces involved in contemporary news
gathering, critical economic determinants of news and social system
influences, and innovative trends in the future of journalism.
Drawing on scholarship in the fields of journalism studies and
sociology of news, Perloff offers readers a critical, in-depth
exploration of news filled with relevant examples from newspapers,
newscasts, and social media. Students of journalism, communication,
sociology, politics, and related courses, as well as inquisitive
scholars, will find this book's intellectual focus enriching, the
writing and examples engaging, and the thoroughness of its search
of the contemporary media scene invigorating. Boxes summarizing
theory and key concepts help students to deepen their understanding
of both what news is now and its future.
