"News Culture" offers a timely examination of the forms, practices,
institutions and audiences of journalism. Having highlighted a
range of pressing issues confronting the global news industry
today, it proceeds to provide a historical consideration of the
rise of 'objective' reporting in newspaper, radio and television
news.
It explores the way news is produced, its textual conventions,
and its negotiation by the reader, listener or viewer as part of
everyday life. Stuart Allan also explores topics such as the
cultural dynamics of sexism and racism as they shape news coverage,
as well as the rise of online news, citizen journalism, war
reporting and celebrity-driven infotainment.
