Talking about Journalism focuses on the relationship between
journalism and the public and engages with this as a specific
boundary-pushing relationship, where the ways we think about
journalism are constantly being defined and re-defined through the
ways we publicly discuss what journalism is, and what it does. It
focuses, conceptually, on journalistic metadiscourse. These
discourses of ‘journalists talking about journalism’ within
news content serve as a way of publicly constructing meaning about
journalism in our societies, what it should do, and how it corrects
itself when it goes astray. The statement of purpose for this book
will outline how thinking about metadiscourses allows us to see
journalism being defined ‘in the open’, through the ways
journalists and members of the public talk about journalism, and
how this has developed over time. However, it does so in a way that
reconsiders the parameters of this conversation. Where previously
this was a discourse found in newspaper media columns, trade
magazines, and similar spaces, it is now pervasive online, within
digital alternative media, and in (hyper)active audience forums and
comment sections. These expand our opportunities for understanding
how journalism is being defined in the spaces where it is talked
about, and for seeing the relationship between journalism, the
public, and various counter-publics play out. This title explores
new frontiers in terms of where and how journalism is being defined
and redefined, not only by journalists but by the public as well.
It does so while bringing forward theories of publics and
counterpublics for our digital age.
