Book SynopsisTrade Review"Co-Winner of the 2016 CITAMS Book Award, Communication, Information Technologies, and Media Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association""Co-Winner of the 2017 Barrington Moore Book Award, Comparative and Historical Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association""[Magazines and the Making of America] is a work of sociology and as such it contributes to the growing literature on print culture by considering how the demography, geography, and economics of print fueled (and were fueled by) capitalism." * Choice *"Magazines and the Making of America is a treasure trove for students of social movements and political history, for it chronicles the scores of movements, from anti-dueling to Indian rights to free love, that swept the nation. . . . A bright star to guide others applying the new methods of social science to historical topics. Haveman has a penchant for coding and counting everything in sight. She tracks each broadside and circular from before the dawn of the nation, and thus we get much more than an impressionistic romp through the history of the genre. The book is chock full of figures and analyses that substantiate the argument, and the narrative is followed by well over a hundred pages of appendices and bibliography."---Frank Dobbin., Administrative Science Quarterly"Fills a large hole in the scholarship of early American magazines, finally putting their influence on a par with the much more widely studied newspaper form."---Kevin Lerner, Journal of Magazine & New Media Research"An important reminder of print's history and influence on American culture."---Andrea McDonnell, Journal of American Culture"Make no mistake, Magazines and the Making of America is a tour de force of historical, economic, and media sociology. For its methodological rigor, for its theoretical reach, for its historical breadth and richness, this is a book that will be pondered and built upon for many years to come."---Rodney Benson, American Journal of Sociology"Haveman’s Magazines and the Making of America will remain a landmark in periodical studies. To see with her what periodicals accomplished from 1741 to 1860 may give us some confidence that they will continue to serve a vital role in the making of America."---Robert J.

Book SynopsisIn the context of profound transformations in the professional, business, technological and social context of journalism, it is crucial for journalism studies and education to move beyond limited approaches to the discipline. Among the most significant changes affecting journalism worldwide is the emergence of startup culture, as more and more journalists strike out on their own. In Beyond Journalism, Deuze and Witschge combine extensive global and comparative fieldwork. Through rich case studies of journalism startups around the world, they provide deep insight into the promises and pitfalls of media entrepreneurship. Ultimately, they aim to recognize new and emerging voices as legitimate participants in the discourse about what journalism is, can be and should be. A bold manifesto as well as an in-depth empirical study, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of journalism, media, communication, and related disciplines.Trade Review“In this insightful and engaging exploration of journalism startups and the people behind them, Deuze and Witschge break from narrow disciplinary boundaries in much the same way their subjects have broken from occupational ones. A must-read for anyone interested in the many forms contemporary journalism is taking, and the ‘rascals and rebels’ leading the way.”Jane Singer, City, University of London “To go beyond journalism, these scholars contest tacit assumptions about journalism and journalism studies, arguing that journalism has never been stable but is always becoming. Enter, then, this research on journalism startups, exemplary of how journalism as becoming is both praxis and ideology.”Nikki Usher, University of Illinois “In Beyond Journalism, Deuze and Witschge have seized upon the exciting energy felt among journalists who are working beyond the confines of traditional newsrooms.”Hyperallergic“Students, scholars, and professionals interested in journalism and entrepreneurship may find this book of interest.”Communication Booknotes QuarterlyTable of ContentsPrologue: The Beyond Journalism Project Introduction: What is Journalism (Studies)? 1 The Becoming of Journalism 2 Setting the Scene: Startups 3 Stories from the Heart 4 Making it Work 5 Stories that Matter Notes References Index

Book SynopsisThis is the story of the rise and eventual disappearance of approximately thirty German weekly newspapers during a period of slightly more than eighty years. It describes the successes and difficulties encountered in maintaining a newspaper press directed at a minority group which was being slowly absorbed into the English-dominated pattern of Ontario. The First World War brought the German newspaper press to an abrupt end by government decree and although this prohibition lifted later, the German press in Ontario never completely recovered. It has remained, however, a fascinating tale out of Ontario's early history.

Book SynopsisThe defeat of George Armstrong Custer and the Seventh Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Bighorn was big news in 1876. James Mueller draws on exhaustive research of period newspapers to explore press coverage of the famous battle to offer a unique take on the dramatic events that so shook the American public.Trade ReviewBack when newspapers were the primary source of information, opinion, and entertainment in America, when even small towns had competing papers with divergent political and religious affiliations, the public formed its views on current events mostly from what appeared in the press. Shooting Arrows and Slinging Mud is a rich, readable study of the newspaper response in 1876 to Custer's disastrous defeat at the Little Bighorn - - a response that proved instrumental in creating the enduring fascination with Custer's Last Stand."" - Brian W. Dippie, author of Custer's Last Stand: The Anatomy of an American Myth""The journalists who covered the Battle of the Little Bighorn in the immediate aftermath of Custer's defeat set the framework for all subsequent discussions and debates about Custer's Last Stand, a framework that continues to reverberate in modern journalism, the academic world, and popular culture today. James Mueller here provides a most thorough review of that early coverage. His study underscores how Custer's critics and fans alike remain so indebted to the first generation of reporters and editors to comment on those stunning events."" - Sandy Barnard, coauthor of Where Custer Fell: Photographs of the Little Bighorn Battlefield Then and Now

Book Synopsis The New White Race traces the development of the press in Algeria between 1860 and 1914, examining the particular role of journalists in shaping the power dynamics of settler colonialism. Constrained in different ways by the limitations imposed on free expression in a colonial context, diverse groups of European settlers, Algerian Muslims, and Algerian Jews nevertheless turned to the press to articulate their hopes and fears for the future of the land they inhabited and to imagine forms of community whichwould continue to influence political debates until the Algerian War. The frontiers of these imagined communities did not necessarily correlate with those of the nation—either French or Algerian—but framed processes of identification that were at once local, national, and transnational.The New White Race explores these processes of cultural and political identification, highlighting the production practices, professional networks, and strategiTrade Review"Legg's fresh, cogent, nuanced reading of race, language, and issues around women and anti-Semitism as expressed in the press makes this a useful reference for a number of disciplines, including history, literature, and cultural or ethnic studies."—H. Bahri, Choice“Legg’s book opens new directions for research. She reinvigorates approaches to using journalistic publications as the primary source base by bringing them to bear on the generative contact zone between ‘imperial turn’ and transnational historiographies. Legg’s expansive research is particularly compelling because of the multilingual source base on which she draws.”—Todd Shepard, coeditor of French Mediterraneans: Transnational and Imperial Histories“Engaging and important. One of this book’s real strengths is the consistent attention to and analysis of questions of race and gender, which are embedded throughout the discussion rather than confined to particular chapters or segments. [Legg] also skillfully highlights the diversity within each of these ‘marginal’ groups, which complements the attention paid to the heterogeneous nature of settler populations.”—Claire Eldridge, author of From Empire to Exile: History and Memory within the Pied-Noir and Harki Communities, 1962–2012Table of ContentsList of Figures Acknowledgments Introduction 1.

Book SynopsisMediated Narration in the Digital Age examines mediated narration from 1991 through 2018. Peter Joseph Gloviczki considers this pivotal period spanning the rise of the World Wide Web through the growth of social media to understand how contemporary media accounts storied everyday life and times of crisis. He uses examples across media culture to show that complicated issues benefit from a critical poststructuralist approach to journalism, which promotes a communitarian ethos of respect, inclusion, and dialogue. Textual analysis of a wide range of media narratives—from a 2012 YouTube clip outlining a time line of the Sandy Hook school shootings, to coverage of then-newly-discovered footage of President Roosevelt in a wheelchair in 2013, to the Cincinnati Enquirer’s 2017 piece “Seven Days of Heroin”—illustrate how theoretical concepts work in practice while explaining the new media environment. In response to the lack of awareness oTrade Review “Gloviczki contributes in important ways to the ongoing debate about the future of journalism, a debate animated by the unprecedented potential for new media technology to revitalize our thinking about—and our commitment to—a more humane world.”—Theodore L. Glasser, professor emeritus of communication at Stanford University“A compelling, provocative, and highly instructive manifesto for new and better ways to practice the art of communication, whether the art of journalism or the art of communication, in everyday life.”—Gerry Philipsen, professor emeritus of communication at the University of Washington “Gloviczki’s book—scaffolded by an intricate grid of theories—offers a personally rooted, poignant, powerful, and accessible exposition of mediated narration’s cultural dimensions, its essential role in helping audiences navigate the complex terrains of school violence, ableism, body politics, drug addiction, and more.”—Radhika Parameswaran, Herman B. Wells Endowed Professor, The Media School at Indiana University–Bloomington“Stunning writing, bold, close to the bone: Gloviczki shows us how to show, not tell.”—Norman K. Denzin, professor emeritus of communications, Institute of Communications Research, University of Illinois “In our troubled times we depend on journalism more than ever. But like many other societal institutions, journalism, too, is challenged to give voice to the variety of our experiences, to go beyond the flatness of portrayals, and, cognizant of its power and its constraints, to encourage society to cherish that narrating differences can unite. Mediated Narration in the Digital Age is a thoughtful and insightful reminder of that.”—Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, professor of Internet governance and regulation at the University of Oxford “Mediated Narration in the Digital Age provides a prescription for a form of storytelling better equipped to ethically represent the various communities that are both journalism’s subjects and its audiences. Both sobering and hopeful, Mediated Narration in the Digital Age is an important book designed to bring twenty-first-century journalism ‘more closely into alignment with the human experience.’”—Michael X.

Book SynopsisMediated Intimacy looks at contemporary sex and relationship advice, exploring how our intimate lives are shaped through different media, from manuals and magazines to television and Twitter. By exploring how intimacy is constructed through different media texts, the authors consider which ideas and practices these changing forms of 'sexpertise' open up, and which they close down. The book reveals the intimate operation of power in mediated advice, how words and images, stories and sound can work to shore up social injustice. It critically engages with the ideas of choice and responsibility in sex self-help, arguing that these can obscure and/or justify oppression, even if they're sometimes experienced as empowering and/or pleasurable. This bold and incisive book provides a radical challenge to the assumptions underlying the sex advice industry, and presents a critical, collaborative and consensual vision for sex advice of the future.Trade Review"At a time when the field of sexual discourse is often characterized as unbounded we may fail to notice the structuring operations of new normativities. This exceptionally readable book tracks fraught concepts of intimacy as they arise in a range of media forms, and a period of more overt transactionalism and heavy cultural emphasis on production of the sexually desirable, sexually agentic self. The authors' meticulous and rigorous account of public discourses of sexual intimacy is a considerable achievement."—Diane Negra, University College Dublin "Investigating the varied dimensions of mediating our intimate lives, this brilliant book provides a far-reaching analysis of contemporary forms of sex advice, from sex television to sex apps and more. Importantly, Mediated Intimacy not only examines the contemporary media landscape, but it is also a guide for readers to create sex-critical advice on their own, using creative and thought-provoking examples for challenging conventional norms and practices about sexual intimacies."—Sarah Banet-Weiser, University of Southern CaliforniaTable of ContentsAcknowledgements vi 1 Mediated Intimacy: Sex Advice in Media Culture 1 2 History of Mediated Sex Advice 30 3 Gender, Sexuality and the Body in the Media 51 4 Being Normal 83 5 Work and Entrepreneurship 107 6 Pleasure 132 7 Safety and Risk 153 8 Communication and Consent 176 9 Conclusions 202 References 226 Index 261

Book SynopsisDespite the criticisms that have been leveled at news organizations in recent years and the many difficulties they face, journalism matters. It matters, argues Schudson, because it orients people daily in the complex and changing worlds in which they live. It matters because it offers a fact-centered, documented approach to pertinent public issues. It matters because it keeps watch on the powerful, especially those in government, and can press upon them unpleasant truths to which they must respond. Corruption is stemmed, unwise initiatives stopped, public danger averted because of what journalists do. This book challenges journalists to think hard about what they really do. It challenges skeptical news audiences to be mindful not only of media bias but also of their own biases and how these can distort their perception. And it holds out hope that journalism will be for years to come a path for ambitious, curious young people who love words or pictures or numbers and want to use them to improve the public conversation in familiar ways or in ways yet to be imagined.Trade Review“Michael Schudson has written a thoughtful, comprehensive, balanced, eloquent, and passionate book about the worth of journalism in present times. A must-read.”Pablo Boczkowski, Northwestern University “This book is vintage Schudson.

Book SynopsisPham Xuan An was one of the twentieth century's greatest spies. While working as a correspondent for Time during the Vietnam War, he sent intelligence reports - written in invisible ink or hidden inside spring rolls in film canisters - to Ho Chi Minh and his generals in North Vietnam.Only after Saigon fell in 1975 did An's colleagues learn that the affable raconteur in their midst, acclaimed as ""dean of the Vietnamese press corps,"" was actually a general in the North Vietnamese Army. In recognition of his tradecraft and his ability to spin military losses - such as the Têt Offensive of 1968 - ­into psychological gains, An was awarded sixteen military medals.After the book's original publication, WikiLeaks revealed that Thomas A. Bass's account of An's career was distributed to CIA agents as a primer in espionage. Now available in paper with a new preface, An's story remains one of the most gripping to emerge from the era.

Book SynopsisLiterary journalism’s origins can be traced to the nineteenth century, when it developed alongside the era’s sentimental literature. Combining fact-based reporting with the sentimentality of popular fiction, literary journalism encouraged readers to empathize with subjects by presenting more nuanced and engaging stories than typical news coverage. While women writers were central to the formation and ongoing significance of the genre, literary journalism scholarship has largely ignored their contributions. How the News Feels re-centers the work of a range of writers who were active from the nineteenth century until today, including Catharine Williams, Margaret Fuller, Nellie Bly, Winifred Black, Zora Neale Hurston, Joan Didion, Adrian Nicole LeBlanc, and Alexis Okeowo. Offering intimate access to their subjects’ thoughts, motivations, and yearnings, these journalists encouraged readers to empathize with society’s outcasts, from asylum inmates and murder suspects to “fallen women” and the working poor. As this carefully researched study shows, these writers succeeded in defining and developing the genre of literary journalism, with stories that inspire action, engender empathy, and narrow the gap between writer, subject, and audience.Trade Review “How the News Feels is a pleasure to read due to Fitzgerald’s lucid, engaging, animated, and clear writing style. At the same time, it also makes a significant contribution to its field by expanding scholarly understanding of sentimentalism as not just a style but an ethos—an ethos that has significantly shaped the genre of literary journalism through the work of generations of woman and nonbinary writers.”—Laura R. Fisher, author of Reading for Reform: The Social Work of Literature in the Progressive Era

Book SynopsisWhen readers see the names Mark Twain or Dan De Quille, fake news may not be the first thing that comes to mind. But these legendary journalists were some of the original fake news writers in Nevada's early years. Frontier Fake News puts a spotlight on the hoaxes, feuds, pranks, outright lies, and other literary devices utilized by a number of the Silver State's frontier newsmen during the mid-19th and early 20th centuries.While Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens), who got his start at Virginia City's Territorial Enterprise, and Dan De Quille (William Wright), who some felt was a better writer than Twain, are the best known members of the Sagebrush School of Writers, author Richard Moreno includes others such as Fred Hart, who reported on the activities of a fake social club for Austin's Reese River Reveille, and William Forbes, who enjoyed sprinkling clever puns with political undertones in his news columns. Moreno traces the beginnings of genuine fake news from founding father Benjamin Franklin's reporting to the fake news articles of New York and Baltimore papers in the early 1800s. But these examples are only a prelude to the amazing accounts of petrified men, freeze-inducing solar armor, blood-curdling massacres, and other nonsense stories that appeared in Nevada's frontier newspapers and beyond.Trade Review"Rich Moreno's inviting, graceful writing combined with an intriguing topic, central to the western experience, is a welcome addition to regional literature. Frontier Fake News is a delightful book."—Ronald M. James, Nevada state historic preservation officer (retired), author of The Roar and the Silence: A History of Virginia City and the Comstock Lode"Moreno is one of the leading, most experienced writers on Nevada history and he did a masterful job of telling the story of these gifted, quirky writers . . . weaving together their writings, the analysis of scholars, and his own interpretation, to present them in full, living color, warts and all.

Book SynopsisThis volume presents a thorough analysis of newspaper language from a regional and functional perspective. Based on a collection of 4,000 newspaper articles from five English-speaking regions and five different news domains, it discusses the benefit of register analysis in a systemic functional framework to comparing varieties and determining their developmental status. For this purpose, it starts with revisiting the states of the art in the fields of media studies, text analysis and variational studies, and then combines the three strands to result in an operationalization of register parameters and thus the basis for the analysis. The results are presented for each parameter as well as in terms of correlations, and are visualized frequently. After a discussion of the findings, the work considers their implications for the theory and method as well as the author's ideas for enhancements and future research.Table of ContentsPart I: Theory 1.

Book SynopsisThis book examines the prominent place a commitment to social justice and equity has occupied in the global history of literary journalism. With international case studies, it explores and theorizes the way literary journalists have addressed inequality and its consequences in their practice. In the process, this volume focuses on the critical attitude the writers of this genre bring to their stories, the immersive reporting they use to gain detailed and intimate knowledge of their subjects, and the array of innovative rhetorical strategies through which they represent those encounters. The contributors explain how these strategies encourage readers to respond to injustices of class, race, indigeneity, gender, mobility, and access to knowledge. Together, they make the case that, throughout its history, literary journalism has proven uniquely well adapted to fusing facts with feeling in a way which makes it a compelling force for social change.Table of ContentsChapter 1 - Introduction (Robert Alexander & Willa McDonald).- 1 - Historical Beginnings: Literary Journalism, Witnessing and Epistemic Justice.- Chapter 2 - The Reporter as Medium: The Theorization of Self-reflection as a Function in Social Reportage (Pascal Sigg, PhD student at University of Zurich).- Chapter 3 - Literary Journalism and Social Justice in the US Antebellum Period (Nancy Roberts, Professor at University at Albany-SUNY).- 2 - Literary Journalist as Social Justice Activist.- Chapter 4 - Down But Not Out: Orwell's 'Spike' and Journalism as a Way of Living (Richard Keeble, Professor at University of Lincoln).- Chapter 5 - Rodolfo Walsh: The Quest for Social Justice Beyond Law(lessness) (Pablo Calvi, Assistant Professor at Stony Brook University School of Journalism).- Chapter 6 - "The Personal Bleeds into the Political": The Literary Journalism of India's Dalit Protest Movement (David O.

Book SynopsisThis book sheds light on how the public engage with, make sense of, and discursively evaluate news media constructions of people from asylum seeking backgrounds. As a case study, the author discusses her recent research combining Critical Discourse Analysis with a cultural studies Audience Reception framework to examine the perspectives of 24 Western Australians who took part in semi-structured interviews. During their interviews, participants were asked open-ended questions about: their general views on people seeking asylum, including Australia’s policy responses, their media engagement habits and preferences, and their views concerning how the Australian media represents people seeking asylum. The author compares and contrasts this research with broader interdisciplinary discussion, and the book will therefore appeal to students and scholars of migration, political communication, sociology, audience reception, critical media studies and sociolinguistics.Table of ContentsChapter 1: IntroductionChapter 2: Asylum seekers in the Australian news media: What do we know so far?Chapter 3: Concepts, methods, and ethical considerationsChapter 4: 'Open the floodgates': Metaphor as a tool for legitimising Australia's 'invasion' panicChapter 5: 'Nation prepares for war': The discursive securitisation of asylum seekersChapter 6: 'Fight against illegals': Constructing asylum seekers through frames of criminality and illegitimacyChapter 7: 'Taxpayers foot the bill': Scapegoating asylum seekers through 'economic migrants' and 'burden' narratives.Chapter 8: Conclusion.

Book SynopsisHate Speech ist ein bisher in der Medienwissenschaft vernachlässigter Forschungsgegenstand, dem sowohl eine ausreichende Abgrenzung als auch eine kohärente theoretische Fundierung fehlt. Das Buch schließt diese Lücke und analysiert anhand der Kontroversen um Oriana Fallaci und Thilo Sarrazin, wie Massenmedien zur Bühne für Hate Speech werden und wie sich Argumentationsprozesse hierbei auswirken. Die Untersuchung in den führenden Qualitätszeitungen Deutschlands, Italiens, Spaniens, Großbritanniens und der USA zeigt, dass Hate Speech in den Massenmedien ein rationales Phänomen ist und eine argumentative Auseinandersetzung mit den diskriminierenden Botschaften dazu führt, deren Diskursqualität zu erhöhen und sie kommunikativ zu legitimieren. Die Leistung der Hate Speaker ist es dabei nicht, etwas zuvor Unausgesprochenes oder Unaussprechliches zu thematisieren oder einen diesbezüglichen Konsens herzustellen, sondern die öffentliche Agenda zu bestimmen. Trade Review“… Das Buch, das die Veröffentlichung ihrer Habilitationsschrift ist, gibt einen sehr fundierten Überblick zum Stand der akademischen Diskussion zum Thema „Hass-Kommunikation“ und verweist auf viele interessante theoretische Aspekte des zeitgenössischen Journalismus … Für Forschung und Lehre liefert die Analyse gutes Material für Auseinandersetzungen mit Populismus, Diskriminierung und Medienwirkungen … Für weitere Auseinandersetzungen mit Hass-Diskursen und aktuellen, teils irrationalen Debatten bietet das Buch eine sehr gute Basis.” (Dr. Uwe Breitenborn, in: tv diskurs, Jg. 22, Heft 4, 2018)Table of ContentsKontroversen, ihre Mediendynamik und Legitimität.- Hate Speech und die kommunikative Herstellung menschlicher Ungleichwertigkeit.- Fallstudie 1: Oriana Fallaci.- Fallstudie 2: Thilo Sarrazin.

Book SynopsisDie Medien stecken in einer Dauerkrise – und daran ist nicht nur das Internet schuld. Sie leiden unter der ‚amerikanischen Krankheit’; Kommerzialisierung der Inhalte, Reduzierung der Investitionen und Minimierung des journalistischen Personals sind die Folge. Jahrelang wurde versäumt, ihr altes Geschäftsmodell zu modernisieren. Zudem haben professionelles Unvermögen und ethisches Versagen von Journalisten das Vertrauen in die Berichterstattung erschüttert. Inzwischen führen ein US-Präsident und deutsche ‚Wutbürger’ sogar einen Krieg gegen die Medien. In diesem Buch wird rekonstruiert, wie es zu dieser Lage gekommen ist, und legitimiert, dass eine demokratische Gesellschaft (guten) Journalismus weiterhin braucht. Autonomie von ökonomischen Zwängen und Kompetenz der Akteure sind die Voraussetzung für sein Funktionieren.<Table of ContentsDas Geschäftsmodell der 'Lügenpresse'- Die Funktion des Journalismus.- Die Technologie und die Ökonomie.- Die politische Kommunikation.- Die Medienethik und die Medienkritik.- Die Qualität der Berichterstattung.- Was soll nun aus dem Journalismus werden?

Book SynopsisDas Buch zeigt die Bandbreite zeitgenössischer Textprodukte in der Wirtschaftskommunikation auf, die durch verschiedene Varianten des Spiels mit Sprache und Text beeindrucken und eine lebendige Textkultur illustrieren können. ​Texte in Unternehmenskommunikation und Werbung folgen vielfach festgelegten Mustern. Pressemeldungen, Editorials oder Werbeanzeigen z.B. bieten als konventionelle Textsorten recht klare Orientierungen zu ihrem Inhalt und ihrer Form.

Book SynopsisIn diesem essential wird der radikale Wandel der Medien und des Journalismus durch den Aufstieg der Plattformen beschrieben. Es wird gezeigt, wie neue Akteure mit neuen Herangehensweisen auf die Bühne treten. Denn durch die aufgezeigten Veränderungen kann jeder Mensch ohne besonderen Sachverstand weltweit publizieren. Dies verändert grundlegend die Produktionsweisen und Geschäftsmodelle der Medien und des Journalismus selbst, denn jeder Mensch wird zum Publizisten. Die Plattformen diktieren die Spielregeln wer publiziert, wie publiziert wird und wer damit Geld verdienen kann. Dies ist aber nicht nur Bedrohung, sondern auch eine große Chance für den Journalismus.Table of ContentsPlattform und Medien.- Filterblasen.- Fake News - Fact Checking.- Crowdsourcing und Crowdfunding.- Non-Profit-Journalismus.

Book SynopsisDer Band sammelt aktuelle Modelle, Analysen und Befunde dazu, wie strategische Kommunikation im Spannungsfeld zwischen Gemeinwohl und Partikularinteressen verortet und gestaltet werden kann. Bisherige Ansätze der Forschung zur strategischen Kommunikation, etwa zur CSR-Kommunikation oder zu dialogorientierter Public Relations, ordnen die Verfolgung gesellschaftlicher Interessen oft in den größeren Rahmen des Strebens nach Partikularinteressen ein und zeigen auf, wie gesellschaftliche Verantwortungsübernahme zu organisationalen Interessen beitragen kann und soll. Demgegenüber gelangen die Beiträge des Sammelbands durch die Kontrastierung von Gemeinwohl und Partikularinteresse zu neuen Erkenntnissen. Dabei stehen zwei Fragen im Zentrum: 1. Wie kann strategische Kommunikation modelliert und praktiziert werden, die systematisch neben Partikularinteressen auch oder vornehmlich Gemeinwohlinteressen bedient? 2. Welche typischen Wertkonflikte existieren im Kontext der strategischen Kommunikation und welche theoretisch begründeten und/oder empirisch erprobten Ansätze gibt es zum Umgang mit solchen Konflikten?Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Teil 1: Gemeinwohl als Forschungsgegenstand der strategischen Kommunikation.- Teil 2: Ansätze gemeinwohlorientierter Organisationskommunikation.- Teil 3: Interne und externe Anspruchsgruppen im Umgang mit Wertkonflikten.

Book SynopsisKann Verständlichkeit zum Erfolg der Presse- und Medienarbeit beitragen? Oder anders gefragt: Welche Rolle spielt Verständlichkeit bei der journalistischen Nachrichtenauswahl? Ausgehend vom Konzept der Mediatisierung argumentiert die Studie, dass die Beachtung grundlegender Verständlichkeitsregeln als ein strategisches Mittel zur Beeinflussung der medialen Aufmerksamkeit angesehen werden kann. Denn Verständlichkeit als journalistisches Qualitätskriterium ist Teil der Medienlogik. Wer diese Medienlogik bei der Gestaltung der eigenen Kommunikation berücksichtigt, schreibt im Sinne der Medien und entspricht journalistischen Vorstellungen darüber, was überhaupt berichterstattenswert ist und wie über entsprechende Ereignisse zu berichten ist. Grundlage zur empirischen Überprüfung dieser Annahme ist eine input-output-analytische Untersuchung von Pressemitteilungen DAX-notierter Unternehmen sowie der daraus resultierenden Berichterstattung in ausgewählten Medien. Mit einer Kombination manueller und automatisierter Formen der Inhaltsanalyse wird dabei die sprachliche Komplexität der Pressemitteilungen bestimmt und die Wirkung dieser Komplexität auf den journalistischen Umgang mit den Pressemitteilungen untersucht.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- (Text-)Verständlichkeit: eine Einführung und Eingrenzung.- Verständlichkeit im Nachrichtenauswahlkontext.- Empirische Befunde zur Verständlichkeit in der Wirtschaftskommunikation.- Zusammenfassung, Forschungsfragen und Hypothesen.- Methode.- Ergebnisse.- Diskussion und Ausblick.

Book SynopsisMalaysiakini was founded in 1999 by Steven Gan and Premesh Chandran, two young Malaysians who met as overseas students in Australia. One of the many online portals that sprung up in the wake of Reformasi, a movement sparked by Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad's 1998 firing of his deputy Anwar Ibrahim, there was no reason to think that Malaysiakini would be different from the other blogs and portals that covered the trial of the charismatic former deputy PM. Yet this would be a mistake, as Malaysiakini wanted to do something much more important than just report on Reformasi: its founders intended to bring independent journalism to Malaysia in hopes of changing the country. Based on more than 15 years of observation of newsroom practices, this book is an intimate portrait of the people and issues behind Malaysia's only truly independent media outlet. The author illustrates Malaysiakini's particular mix of idealism in action, with attention to how "sensitive" issues such as race, religion, politics, and citizenship get worked out in practice in the newsroom. This attention to the inner workings of one of the most important media institutions in the region yields not only a deep newsroom ethnography, but a nuanced, rich history of modern Malaysia.Trade ReviewEveryone who cares about independent journalism can and should learn from Malaysiakini's example. There is no better place to start than reading Janet Steele's book, based on unprecedented access and 15 years of research documenting how the team behind the site leveraged the internet to create a space for democratic civic discourse in an often difficult environment—a challenge journalists face all over the world." – Rasmus Kleis Nielsen, Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism "Media historian Janet Steele's intimate portrait shows how Malaysiakini's independent, progressive journalism not just chronicled momentous events in Malaysia, but also made history as part of the country's democracy movement." - Cherian George, author, Media and Power in Southeast Asia

At last, we have an account that acknowledges that the largest employers of foreign correspondents for nearly two hundred years have been and continue to be the news agencies; that the occupation is rooted in a history of imperialism, post-colonialism and commercialization, whose vestiges today are all too apparent; that the impacts of so-called new media on the amount, range and quality of international news, while significant, are less dramatic and less positive than commonly supposed.- Oliver Boyd-Barrett, Bowling Green State University, OhioWhat is the future of the foreign correspondent - is there one?

Book SynopsisThis book explores innovative approaches to digital and data journalism in Latin America, brought by both legacy media and newcomers to the industry, with the purpose of examining this changing media landscape. As part of the Global South, Latin America has shown significant influence in the promotion of data and digital technologies applied to journalism in recent years. In this region, news entrepreneurs are becoming an essential source of innovation in news production, circulation, and distribution. The book considers news media, particularly in Latin America, as an open set of practices intertwined in the evolution of technology. It discusses the transformation of the Latin American news media ecosystem and considers how it has shaped the industry despite local differences. The study fills a significant gap in academic scholarship by addressing the multiple external factors, mainly political and economic, which have contributed to the relative lack of studies on the patterns of journalism in this region.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisJournalists hate the term fake news, but there's a troubling reality: spin doctors routinely try to dupe them into reporting misleading and distorted stories.Check the news on any given day and here's what you'll find: Governments routinely lie. Companies inflate claims about their productsand practices. Institutions release studies with misleading data meant to deceive. Police departments, infected by systemic racism, downplay crimes against Indigenous and racialized people.The public depends on the media to help them understand the world, but are journalists catching all the daily lies, omissions, and distortions? Shrinking newsrooms and an army of spin doctors mean journalists can get duped. Despite valiant efforts by a handful of investigative journalists, the truth is routinely left behind.Award-winning journalist Cecil Rosner insists there is something we can do about this. We can pressure news organizations to stop blindlyTrade ReviewAn important, but also unexpectedly entertaining, unveiling of the behind-the-scenes battle of the powerful and a free press in a war for the truth * Karyn Pugliese, Editor-in-Chief, Canadaland *Manipulating the Message holds up the mirror to the faces of media who have been knowingly, and at times unknowingly, complicit to the harms caused by colonial biases against Indigenous people. This book serves as a hard-hitting reality check for journalists who wish to implement the TRC Calls To Action for themselves as storytellers.

Book SynopsisAls im Winter 2005 französische Jugendliche in den Pariser Vorstädten die Autos ihrer Nachbarn und Kollegen anzündeten, entflammten die Medien. Täglich folgten Meldungen zur Welle der Gewalt oder dem französischen Feuer, den Ich-AGs des Brutalismus im Krieg oder dem Aufstand der Frustrierten. In Wort und Bild entwickelte sich ein semantischer Kampf, in dem die jeweiligen Medienakteure ihre Sachverhaltsbeschreibung durchzusetzen versuchten. Die vorliegende Studie geht mit sprachwissenschaftlichen Methoden der Frage nach, wie Sachverhalte im Mediendiskurs konstituiert werden. Sie zeigt auf den Ebenen der Ausdrücke und der kognitiven Konzepte die sprachliche Perspektivierung der Unruhen in den Zeitungen Die Welt, Neues Deutschland und Süddeutsche Zeitung.

For those of us teaching Broadcast Journalism during these rapidly changing times in news, this new edition is a terrific addition to our teaching toolkit."Judy Muller, Professor, USC Annenberg School, USA"This edition has excellent tips for writing sound broadcast news copy and has now been updated with information from Papper’s outstanding surveys of the news industry, advice from professional journalists, as well as ideas on the best practices for using new technology such as drones."

Papper restructured the manual to forefront fundamentals of broadcast journalism, beginning with a chapter on ethics. Modest revisions follow....The manual is strongest when it remains focused on the details of style and usage elaborated by real-world examples....While the title suggests an audience limited to students of broadcast news, the style and usage sections of the manual have value for writers of any discipline composing podcasts or other new media work."G.
