In the contexts of crime, social justice, and the law, nothing in visual media is as it seems. In today''s mediated social world, visual communication has shifted to a democratic sphere that has significantly changed the way we understand and use images as evidence. In Seeing Justice, Mary Angela Bock examines the way criminal justice in the US is presented in visual media by focusing on the grounded practices of visual journalists in relationship with law enforcement. Drawing upon extended interviews, participant observation, contemporary court cases, and critical discourse analysis, Bock provides a detailed examination of the way digitization is altering the relationships between media, consumers, and the criminal justice system. From tabloid coverage of the last public hanging in the US to Karen-shaming videos, from mug shots to perp walks, she focuses on the practical struggles between journalists, police, and court officials to control the way images influence their resulting narratives. Revealing the way powerful interests shape what the public sees, Seeing Justice offers a model for understanding how images are used in news narrative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/h2\u003eImpressive in scope. Thoughtful in approach. Critical in significance. Bock gives us a treasure that expertly illuminates how visual media have historically been used to depict (in)justice and, importantly, provides a roadmap to guide their ethical use into the future. * T.J. Thomson, Queensland University of Technology and author of To See and Be Seen: The Environments, Interactions, and Identities Behind News Images *\u003cbr\u003eThrough her insight and wisdom gathered through years of work as a professional and a scholar, Mary Angela Bock has produced a much needed book about the role of all stakeholders—'law enforcement, citizens, and journalists'—in shaping visual narratives about the criminal justice system and the people who are voluntarily or involuntarily part of it. This timely book covers a full range of issues, from 'embodied gatekeeping' through misrepresentation and re-contextualization in media. Far too often, the result of these imaging and viewing practices is seeing unjustly. * Julianne H. Newton, Professor of Visual Communication, University of Oregon *\u003cbr\u003eBock provides a sophisticated account of how the press, the state, and its citizens use and produce visual narratives of justice. Moving between theory and practice with eloquence and ease, she makes a compelling case for why mediated citizenship depends on the recognition of visibility and voice. * Sandra Ristovska, University of Colorado Boulder and author of Seeing Human Rights: Video Activism as a Proxy Profession *\u003cbr\u003eA remarkable achievement! Informative, insightful and engaging. Seeing Justice is a compelling book that will engage and delight the reader. It exposes the way images about justice are created, contextualized and distributed, and how different social actors struggle for control of those processes.

No, says Sue Robinson, you have put yourselves into it. You have to engage with the people you are trying to inform and come clean about your own identity as a private citizen and public professional. Her brave book, How Journalists Engage, describes the 'built environment' where an alternative—and far more humble—approach is slowly coming into view. In this detailed account of engagement work, there is a rethinking of journalism's entire professional project. I, for one, welcome that. * Jay Rosen, New York University Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, and author of What Are Journalists For? *\u003cbr\u003eIn How Journalists Engage, Susan Robinson has done something refreshing: She's taken the chaos of an industry besieged by challenges in a turbulent world and extracted a framework that can give journalists a firmer footing. Not sure what it will take to strengthen our ties to an anxious, divided public? Her four new roles and eight new skill sets are a strong place to start. * Mónica Guzmán, Senior Fellow for Public Practice, Braver Angels, and author of I Never Thought of It That Way: How to Have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Dangerously Divided Times *\u003cbr\u003eHow Journalists Engage illuminates the changing role of trust in the contemporary news ecosystem. Professor Robinson has written an important book for scholars and practitioners alike. * Pablo J. Boczkowski, Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani Professor, Northwestern University, and author of Abundance *\u003cbr\u003eNow more than ever, journalism is faced with the challenge of how to build trust within our increasingly fractured and polarized communities. How Journalists Engage is essential reading for anyone interested in this vital challenge. Building on rich and rigorous empirical research, including a diverse range of engagement case studies, it calls for an ethic of 'identity-aware care,' suggesting that journalists must prioritize listening to and learning from the diverse communities they serve. * Karin Wahl-Jorgensen, University Dean of Research Environment and Culture, Cardiff University, and author of Emotions, Media and Politics *\u003cbr\u003eThe admirable research presented within its pages makes it a must-read.

This era also simmered with political rage and social inequalities, which drove nationalists, nihilists, anarchists and republicans to dynamite cities and discharge pistols into the bodies of presidents, police chiefs and emperors. This wave of terrorism was seized upon by an outrage-hungry press that peddled hysteria, conspiracy theories and, sometimes, fake news in response, convincing many a reader that they were living through the end of days.

Television news anchor Robert Jordan Jr. draws from forty-seven years of news experiences to provide an eye-opening look at how news programs decide which murders to cover and which ones to ignore. Jordan takes readers behind the scenes into the big city newsrooms of Chicago. Here split-second decisions are made on where to send limited resources when dozens of shootings and several murders are occurring on a daily basis. Using interviews from decision makers--such as assignment editors and producers--who work daily in the trenches of working newsrooms, the reader learns how they decide where to send reporters; when to dispatch live trucks; and how the stories will be treated as they are placed in the news programming. Why will one story get \"breaking news\" banners and be placed at the top of the broadcast while others may not make the air at all or may be given casual mention in later segments? Additionally, Jordan reveals the results of a ground-breaking questionnaire sent to producers and assignment editors at Chicago television stations to assess their rationales for covering murder stories the way they do. Finally, he examines how the explosion of social media platforms has changed the dynamic of reporting the news and why murders are the perfect stories for television, as news organizations struggle to survive.","brand":"Prometheus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48740724572503,"sku":"9781633883277","price":16.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"merchants-of-truth-inside-the-news-revolution-9781784702618","title":"Merchants of Truth: Inside the News Revolution","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe gripping and definitive in-the-room account of the revolution that has swept the news industry over the last decade and reshaped our world.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe last decade has seen the News industry face unprecedented change.

The Anatomy of Fake News offers the first historical examination of fake news that takes as its goal the effective teaching of critical news literacy in the United States. Higdon employs a critical-historical media ecosystems approach to identify the producers, themes, purposes, and influences of fake news.

From Richard Nixon’s disdain for the press, to Donald Trump’s claims that reporters are the “enemy of the people,” animosity between press and presidency has reached a fever pitch. In Free The Press, renowned journalist Brian J. Karem asks the question “How did we get here?” And perhaps more importantly, “How do we fix it?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlending his experiences as a veteran reporter with trenchant analysis of the erosion of trust between the press and the government over the past 40 years, Free The Press gives readers a unique perspective on the challenges facing journalism as well as the rise of hostility between these institutions. While early presidents like Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower enjoyed close relationships with the press, the Vietnam War saw a schism develop that has never fully healed. Since then, each and every president has overseen the withering of relations between the Executive Branch and the so-called Fourth Estate: Ronald Reagan weaponized his partnership with FCC Chairman Mark Fowler to weaken the Fairness Doctrine; George H.W. Bush installed a “pool” system for reporters covering Operation Desert Storm, co-opting and guiding the work of supposedly independent journalists; Bill Clinton’s landmark telecommunications act included harmful regulations regarding the internet and allowed for the rise of media conglomerates; George W. Bush’s Patriot Act further stifled a suffocating press; Barack Obama’s administration repeatedly used the Espionage Act – a relic of the WWI-era – to prosecute officials and whistle-blowers who talked to journalists. All of this leads directly to Donald Trump’s most egregious offenses against the media. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders also see first-hand Karem’s own experience in the newspaper industry where he witnessed buyouts and the end of locally owned and operated newspapers, a behind-the-scenes look at his work as a member of the White House Press Corps, and his work defending the confidentiality of sources and advocacy for shield laws to protect the journalistic pillar of anonymity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut it’s not all on the government. The press has hurt itself over the years, too. Corporate media has us following the news of the day for clicks and views rather than pursuing long term stories of impact. Reporters have ceased to frame the narrative and failed to co-opt social media contributions until it was too late. Karem concludes with a three-step plan to save the free press, as well as a comprehensive method to reporting in the White House –and elsewhere – for reporters to regain level footing and work towards repairing the damage done to one of the most important and sacred institutional relationships of our country. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prometheus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48867868410199,"sku":"9781633887664","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"hacks-leaks-and-revelations-the-art-of-analyzing-hacked-and-leaked-data-9781718503120","title":"Hacks, Leaks, And Revelations: The Art of","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/h2\u003eIn the age of hacking and whistleblowing, the internet contains massive troves of leaked information containing goldmines of newsworthy revelations in the public interest - if you know how to unravel them.

This collection of fine pieces perfectly embodies his high moral purpose without lecture or cant. Don’t miss a word he writes.”—PETER COYOTE “This wide-ranging and incisive anthology conveys the spirit of the 1960s and ’70s.”—Publishers Weekly “The author is idealistic in that he believes that the more Americans know about themselves, the better we would be as a people. This idealism is tonic to the common ignorance in American life today. This book would be good reading for those seeking the hard life of an activist and involved citizen. Harris is a fine writer.”—San Francisco Book Review “David Harris’s new collection is a rich buffet of American life in the last few decades, with a tasty array of side dishes from other parts of the world. His curiosity is omnivorous, his sense of humor and irony constant, and his sympathies always with the outliers and the dispossessed. He has no illusions and no pretense to objectivity. I wish we had more journalists like him.”—ADAM HOCHSCHILD, author of Rebel Cinderella: From Rags to Riches to Radical, the Epic Journey of Rose Pastor Stokes “David Harris raises a passionate voice and takes a hard look at justice and injustice in the promised land, his America. He is a writer and a crusader in a grand tradition. I am proud that he got his start at Rolling Stone, where he learned his chops and earned his stripes. His stories, and his own journey, are essential stories of our times.”—JANN WENNER “A powerful, deeply moving portrait of a generation, beautifully written and filled with wisdom and love for his country, David Harris’s My Country ’Tis of Thee should be read by every American.”—RON KOVIC, author of Born on the Fourth of July “David Harris is renowned and honored for his courage and his deep conviction for doing the right thing, no matter the consequences.

It is striking, however, how limited a range of newspapers and journals are offered for analysis in most historical studies of the political media in modern Britain. The predominance of the London political press and Punch in academic discourse appears to derive largely from the easy availability of these papers and journals to modern scholars rather than their actual distribution and popularity. Consequently, there has been hitherto a distinct lack of attention given to the British regional press by historians. This collection aims to correct this imbalance by investigating the development, maturation and persistence of the provincial political press in the British Isles in the modern era. Chapters covering aspects of the Irish, Yorkshire, Welsh, Scottish and Midlands political press are included to ensure a representative geographical spread of provincial Britain. These chapters cover previously neglected aspects of print culture, political literacy and reading practices across the regions of Britain in the late eighteenth, nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to offer an introduction to research in this burgeoning field of study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h2\u003eCONTENTS: Duncan Frankis: «That Nefarious Newspaper»: The \u003cem\u003eDublin Evening Post\u003c\/em\u003e, 1789–1794 - Judith Davies: A «Paper War»: John Rann, George Walters and the Political Print Culture in Dudley, Worcestershire, c. 1814–1832 - Susan Thomas: «One of the Most Extraordinary Publications Which Has Ever Appeared …»: George Edmonds v the \u003cem\u003eMonthly Argus\u003c\/em\u003e - Helen Williams: «Mr O’Connor, Famous Chartist, Visits Town»: Reporting Chartism in South-west Scotland - Paul Wilson: Hopeful Words and the Neighbourly Order of the World: Revealing Radical Language Practice through Traces of Temporary Ownership - James Brennan\/Ian Cawood: «We Must Get In Front of These Blighters»: Political Press Culture in the West Midlands, 1918–1925 - Lisa Peters: «We Defy Mr Watkin Williams to Point to a Single Instance … Where His Personal Character Has Been Assailed»: The \u003cem\u003eWrexham Guardian \u003c\/em\u003ev Watkin Williams, MP - Victoria Clarke: Identifying the Readers and Correspondents of the \u003cem\u003eNorthern Star\u003c\/em\u003e, 1837–1847 - Catherine Ferris: The\u003cem\u003e Freeman’s Journal\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eEvening Packet\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSaunders’s News-Letter\u003c\/em\u003e: Musical Identities, Political Identities.","brand":"Peter Lang International Academic Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887864918359,"sku":"9781788744300","price":44.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"media-sociology-and-journalism-studies-in-truth-and-democracy-9781839980602","title":"Media Sociology and Journalism: Studies in Truth","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMedia Sociology and Journalism \u003c\/em\u003eis a dialogue on contemporary society as defined through news media, politics and contemporary sociological theory. The tenacity of deeply opposing truth claims in politics and in journalism exposes the current fragility of democracy as a type of society and regime of power. Debates are reviewed on competing explanations of post truth attitudes, the rise of populism, fake news, conspiracy theories, neoliberalism, nihilism, white nationalism and the flights from and to democracy. Focus is on the tenacity of deeply opposing truth claims where each side takes the other’s claim to be an existential threat. A dialogical critique of divisions in news media, politics and contemporary sociological theory provides an alternative way forward as right populism, fake news and post truth attitudes render democracy fragile. It is argued that professional journalism also contributes to this fragility when it reports or opines on the most vulnerable subjects in society but does not address them as their imagined audience. The fragility at the heart of democracy, the fine line that once crossed separates freedom from equality or rule by the people from authoritarian demagogues, are further examined through case studies of mainstream acts of journalism on the themes of immigration, urban poverty and cultural diversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Although focused on journalistic practices, this deeply original and timely work is of far wider interest. In the face of what the author terms ‘fake populism’, the analysis moves through a series of sophisticated readings of normative political theory, contemporary sociological theorizing and media studies, and on to a set of empirical studies of leading newspapers and their treatment of a number of pressing issues. Coursing through the analysis lies a deeply ethical questioning rooted in the dialogics of the Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin. Is it possible, the author asks, to have a journalism that speaks with, and does justice to the experience of, those subjects outside the newspapers’ projected audience who are presented as carriers of urgent social problems and potential targets of political exclusion? And behind this question lies another, that of a dialogic democracy, one that, without having to give up a concern with truth, would remain inclusive, even as it seeks to bring different, conflicting viewpoints into conversation with each other” — Brian C.J.
