This book documents the unique reporting practices of humanitarian
journalists - an influential group of journalists defying
conventional approaches to covering humanitarian crises. Based on a
5-year study, involving over 150 in-depth interviews, this book
examines the political, economic and social forces that sustain and
influence humanitarian journalists. The authors argue that - by
amplifying marginalised voices and providing critical, in-depth
explanations of neglected crises - these journalists show us that
another kind of humanitarian journalism is possible. However, the
authors also reveal the heavy price these reporters pay for
deviating from conventional journalistic norms. Their peripheral
position at the 'boundary zone' between the journalistic and
humanitarian fields means that a humanitarian journalist's job is
often precarious - with direct implications for their work,
especially as 'watchdogs' for the aid sector. As a result, they
urgently need more support if they are to continue to do this work
and promote more effective and accountable humanitarian action. A
rigorous study of how unique professional practices can be produced
at the 'boundary zone' between fields, this book will interest
students and scholars of journalism and communication studies,
sociology and humanitarian studies. It will also appeal to those
interested in studies of news and media work as occupational
identities.
As news organizations cut correspondent posts and foreign bureaux,
non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have begun to expand into
news reporting. Why and how do journalists use the photographs,
video, and audio that NGOs produce? What effects does this have on
the kinds of stories told about Africa? And how have these
developments changed the nature of journalism and NGO-work? Who's
Reporting Africa Now?: Non-Governmental Organizations, Journalists,
and Multimedia is the first book to address these questions-using
frank interviews and internal documents to shed light on the
workings of major news organizations and NGOs, collaborating with
one another in specific news production processes. These
contrasting case studies are used to illuminate the complex moral
and political economies underpinning such journalism, involving not
only NGO press officers and journalists but also field workers,
freelancers, private foundations, social media participants,
businesspeople, and advertising executives.

Transdisciplinary Journeys in the Anthropocene offers a new
perspective on international environmental scholarship, focusing on
the emotional and affective connections between human and nonhuman
lives to reveal fresh connections between global issues of climate
change, species extinction and colonisation. Combining the rhythm
of road travel, interviews with local Aboriginal Elders, and
autobiographical storytelling, the book develops a new form of
nature writing informed by concepts from posthumanism and the
environmental humanities. It also highlights connections between
the studied area and the global environment, drawing conceptual
links between the auto-ethnographic accounts and international
issues. This book will be of great interest to scholars and
postgraduates in environmental philosophy, cultural studies,
postcolonial theory, Australian studies, anthropology, literary and
place studies, ecocriticism, history and animal studies.
Transdisciplinary Journeys in the Anthropocene may also be
beneficial to studies in nature writing, ecocriticism,
environmental literature, postcolonial studies and Australian
studies.
One of the major developments in Earth Sciences in general, and
mineralogy in particular, has been the growth of our understanding
of the microscopic behaviour of the complex materials that make up
the Earth. This has been made possible by advances in our ability
to probe minerals at the atomic level, over a large range of
pressure and temperature conditions. New experimental techniques
include the use of scanning probe microscopies to investigate
mineral surfaces, as well as the use of neutron scattering, nuclear
spectroscopies and synchrotron radiation to investigate the bonding
and structure of minerals. In addition, there have been major
developments in computational methods so that it is now possible to
calculate the electronic structure of many rock forming materials.
The aim of this volume is to give a coherent survey of the latest
developments in experimental and theoretical approaches to the
study of microscopic propertie~ and processes in minerals. Chapters
in the book cover a number of key themes in the mineral sciences
such as the behaviour of minerals at extremes of pressure and
temperature, ordering in complex silicates, mechanisms of water
incorporation in mantle phases, the importance of reactions
occurring at the mineral surface, and the ability of computational
methods to provide useful, qualitative information on the bulk and
surface properties of minerals. The background to several
experimental techniques is covered in some detail with examples of
relevance to the issues cited above.

While most screenwriting books focus on format and structure, Kate
Wright explains how to put story at the center of a screenplay. A
compelling story, complete with intriguing characters and
situations created with these screenwriting tricks of the trade can
become a box office blockbuster film.
Screenwriters will learn:
- Developing themes within the plot
- Using structure to define the story
- Creating memorable characters
- Establishing moral dilemmas and conflicts
- Achieving classic elements of storytelling in a three-act
dramatic structure
- Mastering different genres
