Book SynopsisFilm viewing presents a unique situation in which the film viewer is unwittingly placed in the role of a multimodal translator, finding themselves entirely responsible for interpreting multifaceted meanings at the mercy of their own semiotic repertoire. Yet, researchers have made little attempt, as they have for literary texts, to explain the gap in translation when it comes to multimodality. It is no wonder then that, in an era of informed consumerism, film viewers have been trying to develop their own toolboxes for the tasks that they are faced with when viewing foreign language films by sharing information online. This is particularly the case with South Korean film, which has drawn the interest of foreign viewers who want to understand these untranslatable meanings and even go as far as learning the Korean language to do so.

Book SynopsisThis book examines the growing importance of algorithms and automationincluding emerging forms of artificial intelligencein the gathering, composition, and distribution of news. In it the authors connect a long line of research on journalism and computation with scholarly and professional terrain yet to be explored. Taken as a whole, these chapters share some of the noble ambitions of the pioneering publications on reporting algorithms', such as a desire to see computing help journalists in their watchdog role by holding power to account. However, they also go further, firstly by addressing the fuller range of technologies that computational journalism now consists of: from chatbots and recommender systems to artificial intelligence and atomised journalism. Secondly, they advance the literature by demonstrating the increased variety of uses for these technologies, including engaging underserved audiences, selling subscriptions, and recombining and re-using content.

Book SynopsisJournalists and Job Loss explores the profound disruption of journalism work in the 21st century's networked digital media environment. The chapters analyse how journalists have experienced and navigated job loss, re-employment, career change and career re-invention as traditional patterns of newsroom employment give way to occupational change, income insecurity and precarious work in journalism globally. The authors showcase the design, methodology and results of the New Beats project, a ground-breaking longitudinal study of change in the work of Australian journalists, as well as related case studies of job loss and career change in journalism based on research in different national settings across the global North and global South. The book also considers the wider implications of changes in journalism work for media sustainability, gender equity, and journalism work futures. The book provides a theoretically informed and empirically grounded analysis of joTrade ReviewJournalism is unthinkable without journalists. But in the 2010s and early 2020s, the storytellers became the story as the digital revolution – and then the Covid pandemic – ravaged their industry. With perfect timing, this book helps us make sense of what those changes mean for democracy, communication and public life. It tells us about the personal impact of job loss and adaptation, puts the phenomenon of journalism job loss in an international perspective, and points the way to a better understanding of journalism in the present and the future.Professor Sally Young, University of Melbourne, AustraliaThis vital book on the experience of job loss and its aftermath in journalism is among the first to explore comprehensively a phenomenon understudied by journalism scholars and feared by news workers whose livelihoods depend on news organisations’ paycheques. As the pandemic further diminishes employment and increases precarity in journalism, the insights this edited collection provides into these often-traumatic transformations and the subsequent struggles for new careers and professional re-orientation become even more urgent. Especially compelling are those chapters that show how job loss experiences of (ex)journalists intersect with or are shaped by gender, class, race, geographic location, news industry sustainability or options for collective organization.Mirjam Gollmitzer, Université de Montréal, CanadaJournalism is undergoing massive transformations around the world, including unprecedented job losses and growing precarity. Yet, we know little about the experiences of those who have been forced to leave the industry after often long and successful careers. Journalists and Job Loss fills this important gap, giving us a detailed and comparative account of what losing their job has meant to these journalists. It is truly a landmark study that should be required reading for anyone trying to better understand current developments in journalism globally.Folker Hanusch, University of Vienna, AustriaTraditionally the term ‘precarity’ refers to a state of persistent insecurity in respect of employment and income. Today the term also often registers the precariousness of life in our world of accelerating and mutually compounding ecological and economic crises. Journalists and Job Loss with its multi-faceted and in-depth focus on the structural and professional transformations of journalism in an era of digital and industrial change, serves to remind us of the consequences of increased journalist precarity on journalism and the reporting of our increasingly precarious world.

Book SynopsisThis topical volume illuminates ethical issues brought to the fore by the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on a broad range of case studies from different regions, it provides insights into the multiple and complex ways in which the pandemic has shaped media ethics. The chapters employ a wide range of innovative theoretical and methodological approaches to dissect enduring and emerging ethical questions during the pandemic, providing lucid accounts of axiological dimensions in pandemic discourses, ethics of emotional mood, ethical challenges and dilemmas in news reporting, propaganda, misinformation, disinformation and Othering. While the case studies in this book are unique, the authors have extrapolated common strands from their analysis of ethical issues applicable to any other country or region during the pandemic, contributing unique perspectives on how media ethics are circumscribed by global health pandemics.The book will appeal to researchers, academics and practitioTrade Review This stunning book is a world-class anthology on personal responsibility and the collective good.

Book SynopsisTrauma Reporting provides vital information on developing a healthy, professional and respectful relationship with those who choose to tell their stories during times of trauma, distress or grief.Amid a growing demand and need for guidance, this fascinating book is refreshingly simple, engaging and readable, providing a wealth of original insight. As an aspiring or working journalist, how should you work with a grieving parent, a survivor of sexual violence, a witness at the scene of a traumatic event? How should you approach people, interview them and film with them sensitively? Trauma Reporting features guidance from some of the industry's most successful news correspondents and documentary makers, including Louis Theroux, Lucy Williamson, Tulip Mazumdar, Richard Bilton, Jina Moore and many more, all sharing their experience and expertise. It also features people who chose to tell their sensitive stories to journalists, giving readers invaluable insigTrade Review'It is absolutely fundamental that journalists treat vulnerable contributors sensitively and with respect.'– Louis Theroux'Dealing with personal tragedy is hard enough but dealing with the media often compounds the pain, trauma and powerlessness of uninvited experiences. It doesn’t have to be like that. The insight and the guidance in this book reflect compassionate, ethical and professional practices that can only benefit journalists as well as those they work with and for.' – Anne Eyre, Disaster Action.‘Full of vital, sensible and practical advice. All journalists, especially those just starting out on their careers, would benefit from absorbing this clear, thoughtful and much-needed guide.’– Adam Bullimore, Editor, BBC Breakfast News‘Families we have supported tell us the way they are treated by the media can have a massive impact on them. We welcome the level-headed and practical advice in this important book which will increase the confidence of reporters and reduce any unnecessary distress for families.’– Child Bereavement UK'The scoop-obsessed, noisy hack pack, forever ready to pounce mercilessly on unsuspecting people suddenly thrown into the media spotlight, is a stereotype beloved of Hollywood and television detective series. Countering that image, Jo Healey, drawing from wide-ranging interviews, academic studies and her own experience, shows that there is, indeed, a large, caring and reflective community of print and broadcast journos who strive hard to work sensitively when dealing with vulnerable children and adults – and with people suffering from all kinds of trauma. Healey also records moving testimonies from people who, following some tragedy, have had to face the hack pack at their door.

Book SynopsisQuestions the dominant notion that reporters entering the field in the late nineteenth century relied on an informal apprenticeship system to learn the rules of journalism. Drawing from the experiences of more than fifty reporters, Randall Sumpter argues that cub reporters could and did access multiple sources of instruction.Trade ReviewSumpter introduces the notion that the day's news work rules were spread through communities of practice, that is, informal interpersonal networks involving ‘knowledge brokers,' as well as through news fiction, newswriters' autobiographies, and trade and general interest publications. The author's early point about how studying this topic can offer insight into today's technology-driven upsetting of the boundaries of journalism underscores why this study is important."" - Patricia Dooley, Wichita State University; author of Taking Their Political Place: Journalists and the Making of an Occupation and The Technology of Journalism: Cultural Agents, Cultural Icons

Book SynopsisAnalyses the expansion of narrative journalism in the American newspaper industry in the last quarter of the twentieth century. In doing so, the book offers the first institutionally situated history of narrative journalism's evolution from the New Journalism of the 1960s to long-form literary journalism in the 1990s.Trade Review“Offers a detailed, rich, and fascinating account of the narrative journalism movement from the Washington Post to the St. Petersburg Times to the Oregonian and beyond. No one else has done this and Thomas Schmidt has done it with deep research and strong writing himself.”—Michael Schudson, Columbia University, author of The Sociology of News and Discovering the News: A Social History of American Newspapers "Thanks to Thomas Schmidt, scholars will now have a substantive, institutional sense of how, starting in the 1970s, newspaper editors, reporters, and trade leaders—and soon, in-house writing coaches—developed a community of practice around the turn to long-form storytelling. Grounded in fresh archival research, sifting through often-overlooked trade commentary, and incorporating over two dozen interviews with key players, Schmidt's deftly nuanced "cultural-institutional" approach complements and challenges stand-alone histories of the "New Journalism," as well as studies that either overlook the storytelling turn or would reduce it to economic factors. Rewriting the Newspaper is itself a book with a very important story to tell, and one that is still with us."—Christopher P. Wilson, Boston College, author of Reading Narrative Journalism: An Introduction for Students "In Rewriting the Newspaper, author Thomas Schmidt gets it right. This is the story of a generation of creative reporters, editors, and teachers, journalists who understood that while reports were central to their craft, they were incapable of fully communicating the truths behind the facts."—Roy Peter Clark, Poynter Institute for Media Studies, author of Writing Tools

Book SynopsisIn the eight years that it published, (MORE) brought together nearly every important American journalist of the 1970s. In telling the story of (MORE) and its legacy, Kevin Lerner explores the power of criticism to reform and guide the institutions of the press and, in turn, influence public discourse.Trade Review“Provoking the Press is a welcome addition to the scholarly subgenre of press criticism/journalism history principally because its author provides a new way . . . to look at the more than sixty-year campaign against corporate mainstream news media’s Holy Grail of objectivity.”—Arthur S. Hayes, Fordham University, author of Press Critics Are the Fifth Estate: Media Watchdogs in America “Lerner’s work adds an important chapter to the history of press criticism as well as the broader history of 1970s journalism.”—Christopher B. Daly, Boston University, author of Covering America: A Narrative History of a Nation’s Journalism "Kevin Lerner's spellbinding history of the last tumultuous moment in American journalism couldn't be more resonant for the one we're in now. This book uses the story of (MORE) magazine in the 1970s to urgently frame the most important questions swirling around the media today, from the duty of reporters to describe history as it really is to the debates around objectivity and personal identity. This isn't just a wildly entertaining read, but an undeniably important one, too. Kudos to Lerner for unearthing a rollicking moment of journalism history to help us make sense of where we are."—Kyle Pope, editor and publisher of the Columbia Journalism Review "Anyone who cares about journalism, journalistic practices, ethics, and press (media) criticism, will want to read Kevin Lerner's meticulously researched Provoking the Press, the definitive biography of (MORE) Magazine, the late, much missed, short-lived journalism review. Not only will you learn much, but it's lots of fun, crammed with irresistible anecdotes."—Victor Navasky, former editor and publisher of the Nation, chairman of the Columbia Journalism Review, author of Naming Names“Kevin M. Lerner offers a thoughtful assessment of (MORE) Magazine’s cheeky critique of journalism in the 1970s, when 'The Press' of the 1960s evolved into 'The Media' of the 1980s. Provoking the Press is a useful addition to the history of journalism that examines how the gadfly press review (1971–1978) shaped the profession during a key decade in journalism history. . . . Lerner, an assistant professor of journalism at Marist College who edits the Journal of Magazine Media, does a fine job explaining that a key part of (MORE)’s legacy was countering journalism’s anti-intellectualism and treating it with the same watchdog mentality that the field trained on other powerful institutions. Some of the most engaging parts of the book are Lerner’s interviews with staffers that enliven this thoughtful contribution to the history of press criticism.”—Linda J. Lumsden, Journalism History"The book is a useful resource for journalism historians, media ethicists, educators who teach courses on press criticism in the United States and beyond, and established or aspiring press critics. It would also be of interest to lay readers with a serious interest in understanding the short-comings of US journalism."—Miglena Sternadori, Journal of Magazine Media “A well-documented, well-written, informative, and enjoyable read. . . . Anyone interested in the recent history of journalism in the United States or New York City will also benefit from Lerner’s work.”—H-Net Reviews
