British Journal of Sociology
“These excellent detailed studies, when combined with a
very clear introductory essay by Benson and Neveu, and an
accessible, previously untranslated 1995 lecture by Bourdieu
himself make this without question an important and useful
volume.”
Theory and Society
“Bourdieu and the Journalistic Field places journalism
squarely back in the sociological imagination. Deftly examining the
intersections journalism cohabits with politics, economics,
education, and activism, it uses the work of Bourdieu to consider
journalism as a sociological phenomenon. Required reading for those
who want to better understand modern journalism in complex
societies.”
Barbie Zelizer, University of Pennsylvania
“Timely and informative, this book builds a valuable
bridge between social theory and journalism. Bourdieu opens up
analysis of the journalistic field, but the contributors to this
volume also improve our understanding of how to put
Bourdieu’s sociological approach to work.”
Craig Calhoun, New York University
“The book is a valuable contribution to the formation and
development of the field theory of journalism.”
Anna Horolets, Warsaw School of Social Psychology
