Book SynopsisWith each passing day the potential reach of a single false news story—and its ability to negatively impact all of us—grows in both size and scope. Although politicians, activists, and ordinary citizens regularly complain about deceptive or biased news reports, they tend to define fake news as anything with which they happen to disagree, thus compounding the problem even further. Seeking to bring some much-needed clarity to the subject, journalist David G. McAfee documents the myriad definitions of “fake news” and its various incarnations throughout history, from ideologically motivated disinformation operations to commercially motivated misinformation campaigns. Demonstrating that we are all culpable in the creation of the current pandemic, he presents a number of practical and actionable suggestions for combating it. In the end, however, he argues that each of us, no matter our political bent, have an important role to play in curbing the insidious spread and most dangerous effects of fake news.

Book SynopsisThis is a study of the early writings of Virginio Gayda (1885-1944), a talented but amoral Italian journalist whose career spanned two world wars. A keen observer, prolific writer and propagandist during his stint as the newspaper La Stampa’s special correspondent in Habsburg Vienna, Gayda lent his considerable skills to promote an aggressive foreign policy. No one did more than he to poison relations between the Italian and Yugoslav peoples. His is the story of a respected journalist who chose an ultranationalist path to fascism and international fame. Not uninfluenced by rank careerism and material reward he forsook his roots to embrace the antisemitic “race” laws of 1938 and Italy’s disastrous partnership with Nazi Germany.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

Book SynopsisThe dominant news media is often accused of reflecting an 'elite bias', privileging and foregrounding the interests of a small segment of society, while ignoring the narratives of the majority. Tell Our Story investigates the problem of disproportionate media representation and offers a hands-on demonstration of listening journalism and research in practice to promote a more active engagement between journalists and local communities. In the process the authors dismiss the idea that some groups are voiceless, arguing that what is often described is a matter of those groups being deliberately ignored. The authors focus on three communities in South Africa, each presenting with differing but crucial historical, geographical and socio-political 'characteristics' of the post-1994 period. Adopting an audience-centred approach, the authors delve into the life and struggle narratives of each community. They expose the divides between the stories as told by the people in the community who have lived experience of these events, and the way in which these stories are understood and shaped by the media. The implications of the media's routine misrepresentation of the voices of the marginalised and poor for media diversity, media credibility and ethics, media education and training, as well as media research are unpacked and the authors offer a useful set of practical guidelines for journalists on the practice of listening journalism.Trade ReviewTell Our Story is a valuable addition to the South African discourse on media freedom: the authors examine the issue through the lens of grassroots communities in struggle, within a theoretical framework of listening. Media freedom is most often seen from the point of view of journalists. Here, the emphasis is on the right to be heard, represented, understood, and to be included.; — Professor Glenda Daniels, Journalism and Media Studies, University of the Witwatersrand What sets the book apart from other similar studies in this area is firstly its painstaking empirical work in South African communities (which says a great deal about the authors’ ability to gain the trust of these communities and their own ability to listen to the voices of the people); and secondly its attempt to derive from this interaction practical and concrete suggestions for improvement of journalism that moves beyond a mere critique. — Professor Herman Wasserman, Centre for Film and Media Studies, University of Cape Town; This book offers a fresh and useful approach that will add significantly to the growing body of literature that critiques the mainstream media. — Professor Franz Kruger, Journalism and Media Studies, University of the WitwatersrandTable of Contents Acknowledgements List of Illustrations Introduction Chapter 1 The Trajectory and Dynamics of Afrikaner Nationalism in the Twentieth Century: An Overview - Albert Grundlingh Part 1: Assent and Dissent through Fine Art and Architecture Chapter 2 Afrikaner Nationalism and Other Settler Imaginaries at the 1936 Empire Exhibition - Lize van Robbroeck Chapter 3 From Volksargitektuur to Boere Brazil: Afrikaner Nationalism and the architectural imaginary of modernity, 1936-1966 - Federico Freschi Chapter 4 Afrikaner Identity in Contemporary Visual Art: A Study in Hauntology - Theo Sonnekus Part 2: Sculptures on University Campuses Chapter 5 ‘It Is Not Even Past': Dealing with Monuments and Memorials on Divided Campuses - Jonathan D.

Book SynopsisWhat are hybrid media events? Who creates them and what kind of purpose do they serve in contemporary societies? This book addresses these questions by re-thinking media events in the contemporary digital media environment saturated by intensified circulation of radical violence. The empirical analyses draw on the investigation of the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris, in 2015 and the global responses those attacks stirred in the media audience. This book provides a new way of thinking about the idea of the hybrid in global media events. The authors give special emphasis to the hybrid dynamics between the different actors, platforms and messages in such events, explaining how global news media, terrorists and political elites interact with ordinary media users in social media. It demonstrates how tweets such as "Je suis Charlie" circulate from one digital media platform to another and what kind of belongings are created in those circulations during the times of distraction. In addition, the book examines how emotions, speed of communication and fight for attention become hybridized in the digital media. All these aspects, the authors argue, shape the ways in which we make sense of global media events in the present digital age. The authors invite readers to critically reflect the technological, economical, political and socio-cultural challenges connected with today's global media events and the ethical encounters they may entail.Trade ReviewThe authors use the attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris in 2015 to examine how things, ideas, ideologies, and values emerge and impact the media through circulation, and the dimensions of the hybrid media environment that play a role, including professional, journalistic, and social media, blurring lines between production and consumption and creating an endless circulation of texts, visuals, and meanings. They contend that the attacks need to be understood as a global media event in a line of terrorist incidents since 9/11 and that contemporary media events of terrorist violence play out in specific ways because of the contemporary hybrid media environment. They emphasize the relationship between the different actors, messages, and platforms that contribute to the making of a media event through mass media, internet-based, and mobile communication technologies and the elements of actors, affordance, attention, affect, and acceleration, focusing on specific events and messages circulating on Twitter. -- Annotation ©2018 * (protoview.com) *Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisComplexities and dilemmas are evident in journalism in the digital and data age. Scarcity of audiences’ attention jeopardises the survival of information media in the market, technological penetration increasingly renders journalism a complex information system, and the rise of partisan journalism accompanies the crisis of objective reporting. Analysing the evolving industry as it turns to the help of digital technologies such as algorithms and cloud computing to reach and engage local and global audiences, Journalism, Economic Uncertainty and Political Irregularity in the Digital and Data Era explores the challenges journalism faces in great depth and detail. Tong discusses the transformation of quality journalism that has become high-tech, interdisciplinary, saturated with human interest, and sometimes even fiercely partisan under the influence of multiple disruptions brought about by digital technology, economic uncertainty, and political irregularity. A timely and important contribution to the research of journalism, Journalism, Economic Uncertainty and Political Irregularity in the Digital and Data Era bridges media with the fields of sociology, politics, technology, and culture studies – central for academics, writers and researchers.Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisThe memory of the military dictatorship (1964-1985) in Brazil is still under dispute after almost 40 years of re-democratization. Narratives contradicting the memory critical to this regime started to spread digitally in the 2000s, with former army captain Jair Bolsonaro becoming one of its leading exponents. Digital Memory in Brazil draws on the results of three case studies to determine the strategies and practices applied by the Brazilian far-right government of Bolsonaro (2019-2023) to construct a negationist digital memory of the Brazilian dictatorship. Social media were crucial for Bolsonaro’s 2018 electoral campaign and government. Leda Balbino focuses on investigating this memory through its discursive processes and the impact of the digital medium on its development. Identifying a fragmented and elastic memory with the political purpose of promoting an authoritarian agenda under the vision of a Cultural War, Digital Memory in Brazil shows that the Bolsonaro government’s digital memory of the Brazilian Dictatorship was never just about the past. Instead, it represents a political project aiming to reverberate in the Brazilian present and future. Innovating by crisscrossing digital memory concept with studies on right-wing populism and digital populism, Digital Memory in Brazil exposes the strategies and practices of one of the exponents of a global political trend.Table of ContentsChapter 1. Brazil’s Digital Memory and its Discontents Chapter 2. Patterns of a Fragmented Memory Chapter 3. Overstretched Elasticity of a Fragmented Memory in the Covid Era Chapter 4.

Book SynopsisJournalism and Austerity: Digitization and Crisis During the Greek Memoranda presents an overview of press coverage focused on the Greek crisis. The impacts of disaster and digitization in Greek journalism are analyzed with the help of expert testimonies in one of the most significant political cases of the decade.

Book SynopsisA brilliantly evocative memoir from the golden age of newspaper publishing, from a man who helped define our modern media. Les Hinton worked with Rupert Murdoch for more than five decades, and in that time witnessed the transformation of our media landscape. From copy boy at Murdoch’s first paper to senior executive at News Corp, his stories about Clinton and Blair, Brown and Cameron, Princess Diana, Johnny Rotten, phone-hacking, and the man himself, Rupert Murdoch, are as insightful as they are revolutionary. This is one of the defining media memoirs of our age.Trade Review‘An epic story … and a penetrating insight into the mind of Murdoch.’ * Daily Mail *‘Les Hinton lifts the lid on his 52 years working with the media mogul Rupert Murdoch … This ‘untidy life in news’ yields a rich crop of anecdotes.’ * The Times *‘[A] great romp of a journalistic memoir.’ -- Stephen Robinson * The Sunday Times *‘It vividly captures the rise and fall of the press over 60 years … [no] acolyte’s paean.’ -- Ian Burrell * i *‘[Gives] an unprecedented insight into the media mogul [Murdoch’s] ways.’ * i *‘Les Hinton's story is about the glory and the tragedy of the newspaper business.

Book SynopsisThis book explores the form, dynamics, and main reasons for media capture and conspiracy between editors and executive politicians in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) since 2000. Situated in the literatures on Europeanization, democratization, party studies, and media studies, the book aims to connect these fields by showing that internal party dynamics play an important role in motivating executive politicians to hijack or collaborate with media. Against this backdrop, the book tells the story of Croatian journalism in the context of media-mafia conglomerates, political corruption, and media hijacking, and examines how "traditional" democratic drivers that the literature frequently cites, such as Europeanization and party competition, failed to prevent systematic transgressions by politicians. Methodologically, the book takes a two-pronged approach. First, nearly 50 interviews were conducted with Croatian investigative journalists, from which the narratives about the relationships between government politicians and editors over 15 years were reconstructed. In a second step, a sample of 40,000 media articles was subjected to a computational sentiment analysis, covering the same 15-year period and showing high levels of cooperation between corrupt politicians and corrupt media outlets.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThis book argues that there are constant formations of online public spheres in present-day China, prompted by never-ending news. It contends that these publics are chronic, although individually they are usually transient. They are networked, which enables them to go viral in hours, and they may engender unexpected consequences. These features explain why online public spheres survive in China even though censorship and information manipulation are pervasively and strategically maneuvered to guide or manufacture “public opinion”. The book also proposes that there are deeply entangled structural factors bolstering China's online news-prompted public spheres: the continuous flow of news information, the countless public spaces facilitated by China’s digital infrastructure and the rise of rights-conscious netizens. Pushing forward a new way of conceptualizing the idea of public spheres, this book contends clearly that public spheres are most often sparked by chronic news in today's media-saturated societies. Delving into the life cycles of public spheres, it goes beyond static analysis of individual public spheres and instead studies their five qualities, which, except for the networked quality, have never been systematically addressed in scholarship.

Book SynopsisThis book offers a comprehensive investigation of the ways in which social media has affected change to the constitution of mainstream journalism. The volume does this in a unique way – by tracing the links between the different changes social media has brought to individual journalism practice, organisational processes and policies and institutional understandings of journalism. The role of social media platforms in the changing professional landscape of journalism is explored, both in terms of the changes that social media platforms have impacted on journalism, but also the way in which journalistic use of social media has impacted on particular uses of these platforms. Therefore, Journalism and Social Media is not simply a description of changed journalistic practices, but endeavours to encapsulate a complex and integrated techno-social relationship, incorporating both the individual practices of journalists, as well as the larger organisational and institutional changes that have occurred due to the increasing use of social media to investigate, present and disseminate news. Table of ContentsChapter one. Journalism and Social Media: An Introduction.- Chapter two. Social media and Journalism Practice.- Chapter three. Journalism and social media audiences.- Chapter four. Social media and the newsroom: new relationships, new policies, new practices.- Chapter five. Big data, algorithms and the metrics of social media news.- Chapter six.

Book SynopsisDie Journalistenaus- und -fortbildung verändert sich, weil die Medien sich verändern. Und die Medien verändern sich in mehreren Dimensionen: Neue Organisationsformen, eine verstärkte Kommerzialisierung, Modifikationen von Formaten und Programmen, neue Darstellungsformen und Recherchewege - das sind nur einige Entwicklungstrends. Die Journalistenausbildung muß sich darauf einstellen - und sie tut es bereits: mit didaktisch und organisatorisch flexibleren Angeboten und mit der Schaffung neuer Studiengänge. Diese Entwicklungen werden in diesem Band von Kommunikationswissenschaftlern und Medienpraktikern reflektiert.Trade Review"Es ist ein tröstlicher Gedanke, dass traditionelle Prämissen auch vor dem Hintergrund neue Ausbildungangebote und angesichts der schnellen Umbrüche in der Medienwelt Bestand haben."

Book SynopsisBilder in der Presseberichterstattung nehmen Einfluss auf die Deutungs- und Wahrnehmungsmuster von Migration. Dadurch sind sie, die Bilder, Teil von gesellschaftlichen Aushandlungsprozessen über Migration. Über Pressebilder versichern sich Gesellschaften ihrer aktuellen Verfasstheit, sodass sie als Teil von Selbstverständigungsprozessen verstanden werden müssen. Aus dieser Perspektive widmet sich die Untersuchung Bildmotiven, die im Zeitraum der späten 1950er bis frühen 1990er Jahre in der Presseberichterstattung über ‚Flucht‘ und ‚Asyl‘ veröffentlicht wurden und leistet so einen Beitrag zum Verständnis der Bundesrepublik als Migrationsgesellschaft in historischer Perspektive.Trade Review“... Insgesamt gelingt es Lisa-Katharina Weimar hervorragend, sowohl die großen Linien der Visualisierung von Flucht und Flüchtlingen über vier Jahrzehnte in der Bundesrepublik herauszuarbeiten als auch das Wirken der Bilder in spezifischen Verwendungszusammenhängen durch oftmals bestechende Einzelanalysen sichtbar zu machen …” (Stephan Scholz, in: H-Soz-Kult, hsozkult.de, 18.

Book SynopsisDesinformation, Fake News zerstören Vertrauen und ver- oder behindern die rekonstruktive Konstruktion von Wirklichkeit mit weitreichenden Folgen für das individuelle Lernen und das gesellschaftliche Handeln. Die Arbeit beschreibt und definiert vor dem Hintergrund einer theoretisch-analytischen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Wahrheitsbegriff das Realphänomen der Fake News. Im empirischen Teil wird die deutschsprachige Impfkommunikation der Jahre 2018-2019 in ausgewählten Printmedien und auf YouTube im Rahmen einer Inhaltsanalyse unter anderem auf Fake News hin untersucht. Ebenfalls wird die Moral Foundations Theory genutzt, um moralische Inhaltsbezüge zu dekodieren und ihren Zusammenhang mit Fake News herzustellen. Kapitel zur Gesundheitskommunikation und zur Geschichte der Impfgegner bieten weiteren Kontext zur Deutung der Ergebnisse.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Theoretisch-analytische Grundlegung.- Traditionelle Printmedien und Social Media (YouTube): eine Beschreibung.- Impfen: Gesundheitskommunikation und gesellschaftliche Diskussion.- Analyse der Berichterstattung und von Fake News zum Thema „Impfen“ in deutschen Printmedien und auf YouTube mit Fokus auf moralische Bezüge..- Überblick über die Hypothesen und Ergebnisse.- Desiderate.- Fazit und Ausblick.- Literatur und Online-Quellen.
