This remarkable and timely book examines the news in Latin American during the early 1990s, emphasizing government-press relations, the contemporary practice of journalism, and the role of regional, national, and international news agencies. The authors capture the complexity and variety of traditions and cultures in Latin America, describing and explaining all of this within the context of mass communications. A major contribution to the study of democracy"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
Produced to fill a gap in current knowledge about the state of
journalism in Latin America, this timely book chronicles how recent
changes toward democratization and privatization in the region have
influenced mass media industries and the practice of journalism.
Written as a tribute to earlier books about the development and
status of Latin American news organizations, this text provides a
readable overview of journalism in the area. Unlike those in
previous works, these chapters are divided by issues and subject
matter instead of by nations and regions. Each chapter concludes
with a "spotlight" case study to illustrate the reading material.
These features -- along with several easy-to- follow tables,
topical examples suitable for class discussions, and a variety of
sources including original interviews with media professionals --
all combine to form the most up-to-date book currently available on
this constantly changing subject.
This volume offers unique and timely insights on the state of online news, exploring the issues surrounding this convergence of print and electronic platforms, and the public's response to it.

The heart of the book is formed by empirical studies - mostly social surveys - coming out of the media effects and uses traditions.

The frameworks guiding these studies include media credibility, the third-person effect, media displacement, and uses and gratifications.

This book is appropriate for scholars, researchers, and students in journalism, mass communication, new media, and related areas, and will be of interest to anyone examining how people use the web as a source for news.
