and methodological approaches for studying journalists and
journalism around the world. It charts the opportunities and
challenges facing journalism research in an increasingly global
field.
- Brings together an elite team of contributors to create a
comprehensive overview of journalism research and its different
approaches, methods, and paradigms around the world
- Examines the impact of developments in journalism that have
resulted in it becoming an international phenomenon with global
networks, no longer able to operate solely within national or
cultural borders
- Considers the theoretical frameworks necessary for journalists
to embrace recent economic, political, and cultural changes -
impacting on our basic definitions of journalism
- Explores the issue of the increasingly blurring line between
entertainment and news, as well as the formerly clear division
between journalism, public relations and business
communication
- Draws on examples of journalism research from Asia, Africa, Western and Eastern Europe, and North and Latin America
