This book questions whether the news we get is as useful for
citizens as it could, or should, be. This international study of
news is based on re-thinking and re-conceptualising the news values
that underpin understandings of journalism. It goes beyond
empirical descriptions of what journalism is to explore normative
ideas of what it might become if practised alongside commitments to
ethical listening, active citizenship and social justice. It draws
lessons from both alternative and mainstream media output; from
both journalists and scholars; from both practice and theory. It
challenges dominant news values by drawing on insights from
feminism, peace journalism and other forms of critical thinking
that are usually found on the margins of journalism studies. This
original and engaging contribution to knowledge proposes an
alternative set of contemporary news values that have significant
implications for the news industry, for journalism education and
for democracy itself.
