This book brings together a diverse, international array of
contributors to explore the topics of news "quality" in the online
age and the relationships between news organizations and enormously
influential digital platforms such as Facebook, Google, and
Twitter. Covering topics ranging from internet incivility,
crowdsourcing, and YouTube politics to regulations, algorithms, and
AI, this book draws the key distinction between the news that
facilitates democracy from news that undermines it. For students
and scholars as well as journalists, policymakers, and media
commentators, this important work engages a wide range of
methodological and theoretical perspectives to define the key
concept of "quality" in the news media.
One family's tale of surviving the ups and downs of life in the
Devon countryside, with the help of their wits, a sense of humour,
an occasional slice of luck and regular visits to the drinks'

Despite the importance of foreign news, its history, transformation
and indeed its future have not been much studied. The scholarly
community often calls attention to journalism's shortcomings
covering the world, yet the topic has not been systematically
examined across countries or over time. The need to redress this
neglect and the desire to assess the impact of new media
technologies on the future of journalism - including foreign
correspondence - provide the motivation for this stimulating,
exciting and thought-provoking book. While the old economic models
supporting news have crumbled in the wake of new media
technologies, these changes have the potential to bring new and
improved ways to inform people of foreign news. In an increasingly
globalized era, journalism is being transformed by the effortlessly
quick sharing of information across national boundaries. As such,
we need to reconsider foreign correspondence and explore where such
reporting is headed. This book discusses the current state and
future prospects for foreign correspondence across the full range
of media platforms, and assesses developments in the reporting of
overseas news for audiences, governments and foreign policy in both
contemporary and historical settings around the globe. As Emmy
Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning correspondent Serge Schmemann
reminds us in this book, "quality journalism and unbiased reporting
are as valid and necessary today as they ever were [...] one of the
primary tasks of journalists and scholars as they follow the
changes taking place must be to ensure that the 'new international
information order' now imposed by the Internet remains true to the
ideals and traditions that define our journalism." This book was
originally published as a special issue of Journalism Studies.
California: The Politics of Diversity examines the diverse and
hyperpluralistic nature of California, particularly its people and
the groups to which they belong. In their accessible style,
Lawrence and Cummins bring an informed, insightful perspective to
the examination of the numerous pressures that make governing the
state increasingly challenging. Learning objectives and chapter
conclusions offer students a roadmap to key ideas while study
questions encourage critical thinking. Textboxes emphasize how
California compares to the other states and highlight voices of
prominent policymakers. No other textbook on California politics
offers as much coverage and in-depth analysis of the state’s
political development and institutions that have shaped the Golden
State into what it is today. The eleventh edition has been revised
to reflect the latest developments in California politics,
including: Coverage of the first term of Governor Gavin Newsom’s
administration Analysis of the impact of the COVID pandemic on the
state’s politics and economy Discussion of the 2021 gubernatorial
recall Updated analysis of the state’s major policy areas,
including water, housing, transportation, health care, education,
crime, immigration, and climate change Changes in demographics and
voter turnout in 2022 general election Updated and expanded
pedagogy and art program Jeff Cummins has provided a revised
instructor’s manual, test bank, and new lecture slides. These

American electoral politics since World War II stubbornly refuse to
fit the theories of political scientists. The long collapse of the
Democratic presidential majority does not look much like the
classic realignments of the past: The Republicans made no
corresponding gains in sub-presidential elections and never won the
loyalty of a majority of the
Published over twenty years ago, Regina G. Lawrence's The Politics
of Force was the first scholarly book to look at the way in which
media coverage of unexpected, dramatic events shaped public
consciousness about important social and political problems. At a
time when police brutality was rarely discussed in the news,
Lawrence examined police use of force in over 500 incidents, with
an in-depth look at the Rodney King case. In doing so, she showed
that when incidents of police brutality became news, they offered
one of the few real opportunities for marginalized voices and
activists to find a public platform and take on the powerful. In
the intervening years, the empirical and theoretical contributions
of The Politics of Force have become more significant, not only
because police brutality is back in the news, but because the media
system itself has changed. In this updated edition, Lawrence
contextualizes and extends these contributions, while including a
closer look at race and racial justice in incidents of police use
of force. Reflecting on the context in which the book was written-a
time when race and policing received limited coverage in the news
and in the field of political communication-Lawrence considers what
has changed in media studies since the year 2000, what things
haven't changed, and why. Moreover, Lawrence examines coverage of
more recent incidents of police violence and the ways in which the
voices of citizen activists are treated in the news today. In turn,
she addresses the important question of how defining political
problems through such events might or might not produce more
lasting policy change. Expanding on her landmark publication,
Lawrence provides an accessible update on news production dynamics
and police use of force for a new generation of scholars, students,
and activists.

This book compares sources of worker and employer power in Germany,
South Africa, and the United States in order to identify the
sources of comparative U.S. decline in union power and to more
precisely analyze the nature of labor-movement power. It finds that
this power is not confined to allied parties, union confederations,
or strikes, but rather consists of the capacity to autonomously
translate power from one context to the next. By combining their
product, labor market, and labor law advantages through their
dominant employers' associations, leading firms are able to impose
constraints on labor's free collective bargaining regionally and
nationally, defeating employer interests that are more amenable to
labor in the process. Through an examination of these patterns of
interest organization, the book shows, however, that initial
employer advantages prove to be contingent and unstable and that
employers are forced to cede to more far-reaching demands of
increasingly organized workers.

"The two Clinton victories do not mark a break in a pattern of
mediocre Democratic performance in presidential elections. The 1996
presidential victory was combined with Republican retention of both
houses of Congress. We find little evidence here of a resurgence of
the kind that could spark even the most optimistic Democratic
activist to speak of a new or renewed Democratic majority, or even
of a new or renewed Democratic presidential majority.
Bill Clinton's re-election is a great triumph for Bill Clinton;
it is certainly a good thing for the Democrats. But it was clearly
a very personal triumph that neither generated across-the-board
gains for the Democratic party in 1996 nor created a stable basis
for the party's electoral success in the future. Nothing that
happened in 1996 suggests that the dealigned electoral politics
that have dominated the last thirty years is coming to an end. In
2000, Bill Clinton moves from electoral politics to electoral
history. The forces that twice elected him enter the uncertainty
that characterizes all electoral politics in a dealigned age."
Social work researchers often conduct research with groups that are
diverse in terms of gender, sexual orientation, race or ethnic
background, or age. Consequently, social work researchers must take
great care to establish research-design equivalence at all phases
of the research process (e.g., problem formulation, research
design, sampling, measurement selection, data collection, and data
analysis); otherwise, the results might reflect methodological
flaws rather than true group differences and therefore lead to
erroneous conclusions. This book introduces the methodological
precautions that must be taken into consideration when conducting
research with diverse groups. Multigroup Confirmatory Analysis
(MG-CFA) using structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized to
demonstrate how to assess seven types of measurement and structural
equivalence that Milfont and Fischer (2010) have deemed important
for studies with diverse samples. A hypothetical example was
provided to illustrate how to design a study with good
research-design equivalence. A case example was provided to
demonstrate how to conduct an MG-CFA for each type of measurement
and structural equivalence discussed. The Mplus syntax used to
conduct the MG-CFA was provided. The results from the MG-CFA
analyses were written up as they would be for publication.
