Taylor & Francis Social Media at BBC News
Book SynopsisSince the emergence of social media in the journalistic landscape, the BBC has sought to produce reporting more connected to its audience while retaining its authority as a public broadcaster in crisis reporting. Using empirical analysis of crisis news production at the BBC, this book shows that the emergence of social media at the BBC and the need to manage this kind of material led to a new media logic in which tech-savvy journalists take on a new centrality in the newsroom. In this changed context, the politico-economic and socio-cultural logic have led to a more connected newsroom involving this new breed of journalists and BBC audience. This examination of news production events shows that in the midst of transformations in journalistic practices and norms, including newsgathering, sourcing, distribution and impartiality, the BBC has reasserted its authority as a public broadcaster. Click here for a short video about the Trade Review"Valerie Belair-Gagnon has provided a ground-breaking analysis of the impact of social media on the practice of journalism. Her book’s examination of the BBC offers a compelling look at how a global leader in journalism is adapting to the age of connected citizens." - John Pavlik, Rutgers University, USA"This book offers an important analysis of the practical and ethical issues for a global broadcaster embracing social media. It brings to life the opportunities and dilemmas for a traditional news organisation adapting to the open, collaborative digital age." - Richard Sambrook, Cardiff University (Former Director, BBC Global News)"Valerie Belair-Gagnon's work on the BBC offers the defining work on the world's premeire public broadcast institution as it attempts to reckon with the rise of user generated content. The text offers a fascinating detailing of the tensions between the institution's standards for accuracy and the new demands and perhaps uncertainty of verification for social media. Through intensive fieldwork, scholars and journalists alike should find an essential tale full of lessons from a formidable institution adapting to the social media age." - Nikki Usher, George Washington University, USA and author of Making News at The New York Times"While BBC News is a unique institution in its size and scope, Belair-Gagnon's account of the organization's adaptation to social media will be of interest not only to BBC watchers, media historians and researchers but also to journalists seeking to compare, understand and advance change in their own newsrooms. Overall it offers a well-informed analysis of how a famed journalistic powerhouse got to grips with a more open, networked and digital era, learning important lessons about itself and its audience along the way." - Rachel Nixon, former Senior Director of Digital Media for CBC News and Editor-in-chief of MSN News and Sports (US)Table of ContentsIntroduction 1. ‘Auntie’ Takes on Social Media 2.

Taylor & Francis Social Communication in Advertising
Book SynopsisNewly updated for the digital era, this classic textbook provides a comprehensive historical study of advertising and its function within contemporary society by tracing advertising's influence throughout different media and cultural periods, from early magazines through to social media. With several new chapters on the rise of the Internet, mobile, and social media, this fourth edition offers new insights into the role of Google, Facebook, Snapchat, and YouTube as both media and advertising companies, as well as examining the role of brand culture in the 21st century.Trade Review"Social Communication in Advertising has been THE central text in advertising studies for decades. This exciting updated edition applies its critical sensibilities and insights to new trends in advertising and promotion." -Matthew McAllister, Pennsylvania State University"A welcome, skillful update of what continues to be the best textbook about advertising in society. Revisions throughout this new edition reflect the most up-to-date scholarship. Two new chapters provide important, innovative ways of making sense of the digital-advertising revolution currently underway." -James F. Hamilton, University of Georgia"Social Communication in Advertising skillfully balances an appreciation of the history of advertising, with fresh new chapters that analyze the changing boundaries of advertising in the digital marketplace. The book is rich with examples, references key critical debates in the field and is a pleasure to read." -Natalie Coulter, York University"Updated to the digital expectations of the current era but steeped in the historical legacies of media and persuasion that got us here, this 4th edition of Social Communication in Advertising is an essential text for students and scholars to understand the contours of our thoroughly promotional culture. Rather than resting on easy distinctions between economic and cultural requirements, or functional and critical perspectives, Social Communication in Advertising shows us the complex institutional, professional and political dynamics of advertising throughout the twentieth and into the twenty-first centuries. Theoretically rich and conceptually sophisticated, the book is anchored by relevant and accessible examples, showing us how the "magic system" we call advertising has allowed us to create meanings about who we are and how we live. More than a business or a profession, and more than its media or its messages, advertising has been part of the fabric of everyday life for over a century. Leiss and his co-authors demonstrate how advertising has informed social values and lifestyles, national identities and global markets, political activism and data protection. Remarkably wide ranging and yet deftly organized, this engaging and exciting new edition is highly recommended for undergraduate and graduate students to gain a "big-picture" perspective on advertising." -Melissa Aronczyk, Rutgers University Table of ContentsIntroduction Part I: The Development of Modern Advertising2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Tracking Color in Cinema and Art
Book SynopsisColor is one of cinemaâs most alluring formal systems, building on a range of artistic traditions that orchestrate visual cues to tell stories, stage ideas, and elicit feelings. But what if color is notâor not onlyâa formal system, but instead a linguistic effect, emerging from the slipstream of our talk and embodiment in a world? This book develops a compelling framework from which to understand the mobility of color in art and mind, where color impressions are seen through, and even governed by, patterns of ordinary language use, schemata, memories, and narrative.Edward Branigan draws on the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein and other philosophers who struggle valiantly with problems of color aesthetics, contemporary theories of film and narrative, and art-historical models of analysis. Examples of a variety of media, from American pop art to contemporary European cinema, illustrate a theory based on a spectatorâs present-time tracking of temporal patterns that are firmly entwineTrade Review'This is an extraordinary achievement -- a major work (perhaps Branigan's most impressive yet) by one of our most important film theorists and philosophers. While color studies in film have exploded over the last fifteen years, most of the work has moved very cautiously and largely in a historicist fashion, one that privileges accounts of emerging technological innovations and to a lesser extent style at the expense of the fascinating perceptual questions color and color filmmaking raises. Branigan takes these questions head on and the results are positively stunning. It is the first book -- in film studies, at least -- to deal at great length and specificity with the question of color perception and color style. As I mentioned, most books shy away from stylistic analysis and the rich philosophical questions that color poses about perception and, as Branigan indicates very daringly, about how real the real world is.' -- Brian Price, University of Toronto'Branigan takes a Wittgensteinian approach to color that "focuses not on what color is, but on how it functions, what it does for us, what we make of it." For our delectation, he offers us an extraordinarily rich and provocative feast that takes us beyond cinema to the uses and meanings of color in painting, philosophy and literature.' -- C.L.

This text demonstrates the vibrancy of aesthetics today without losing sight of its past."--Christopher Bartel, Appalachian State University"I’ve long considered Aesthetics: A Reader in Philosophy of the Arts to be the best collection for undergraduate philosophy of art classes because of the breadth of its readings, and because of its excellent coverage of recent debates in the arts. The fourth edition builds on these strengths, expanding its coverage of contemporary topics."--Joshua Shaw, Penn State Erie, The Behrend College"The editors have have imaginatively selected essays both canonical and offbeat from diverse traditions.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Press Clause and Digital Technologys Fourth
Book SynopsisDuring the first part of the twenty-first century, bloggers, citizen journalists, social media users, Yelp reviewers, and a myriad of other communicators have found themselves facing defamation, privacy, campaign finance, and other lawsuits as a result of the messages they have communicated. In many ways, these communicators are facing legal questions that are similar to what traditional journalists have faced for centuries regarding their rights to gather and publish information. This book examines how the press clause, a First Amendment freedom with no agreed-upon definition, can be understood in order to help guide the courts and twenty-first-century publishers regarding protecting expression as we move into the fourth wave of networked communication, an era that will be defined by increasingly complex relationships between humans and artificially intelligent communicators.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Democratizing Journalism through Mobile Media
Book SynopsisFuelled by a distrust of big media and the development of mobile technologies, the resulting convergence of journalism praxis (professional to alternative), workflows (analogue to multipoint digital) and platforms (PC to mobile), result in a 24-hour always-on content cycle. The information revolution is a paradigm shift in the way we develop and consume information, in particular the type we call news. While many see this cultural shift as ruinous, Burum sees it as an opportunity to utilize the converging information flow to create a galvanizing and common digital language across spheres of communication: community, education and mainstream media. Embracing the digital literacies researched in this book will create an information bridge with which to traverse journalism's commercial precarity, the marginalization of some communities, and the journalism school curricula. Trade Review"This book from one of the pioneers of mojo storytelling is an excellent introduction to the possibilities and potential of the smartphone through its intersection with journalism.

Book SynopsisPresident Donald Trump and His Political Discourse brings together a diverse collection of perspectives on President Trumpâs Twitter rhetoric. Truly unique in its in-depth exploration, the volume demonstrates the ways in which international and U.S. relations, media and fake news, and marginalized groups, among other things, have been the subject of President Trumpâs tweets. It also features qualitativeâquantitative analyses, evaluating tweet patterns, broader language shifts, and the psychology of President Trumpâs Twitter voice. The purpose of this collection is not only to analyze the language used but also to consider the ramifications of the various messages on both individual and global levels, for which Trump is both celebrated and criticized. Interdisciplinary in approach, this collection is a useful resource for students in political rhetoric and communication, international relations, linguistics, journalism, leadership studies, and more.Trade ReviewAs the Twitter president, Donald Trump has revolutionized how candidates and presidents interact with audiences domestically and globally. Michele Lockhart’s edited volume answers the call for serious study of Trump’s Twitter language and its impact, making President Donald Trump and His Political Discourse a timely addition to any classroom.-Shawn J. Parry-Giles, University of Maryland, USAIf you’re wondering how President Trump’s churning tweets are utterly redefining American political rhetoric, then this collection provides a sufficient and necessary baseline where, as Yeats warned, “the ceremony of innocence is drowned.” While social media isn’t always social, it’s always rhetorical, and — for this attentive editor and these critically engaged scholars — strangely beautiful. -Hugh Burns, Texas Woman's University, USATable of ContentsINTRODUCTION by Michele LockhartPART I: THE CAMPAIGN, THE TWITTERSPHERE, AND THE "NEW AGE" OF RHETORIC: TRUTH VERSUS REALITY1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Accessible Filmmaking
Book SynopsisTranslation, accessibility and the viewing experience of foreign, deaf and blind audiences has long been a neglected area of research within film studies. The same applies to the film industry, where current distribution strategies and exhibition platforms severely underestimate the audience that exists for foreign and accessible cinema. Translated and accessible versions are usually produced with limited time, for little remuneration, and traditionally involving zero contact with the creative team. Against this background, this book presents accessible filmmaking as an alternative approach, integrating translation and accessibility into the filmmaking process through collaboration between translators and filmmakers. The book introduces a wide notion of media accessibility and the concepts of the global version, the dubbing effect and subtitling blindness. It presents scientific evidence showing how translation and accessibility can impact the nature and reception of a film bTrade Review"Making films accessible across the world, and to those who have difficulty seeing or hearing, is something we should take seriously. Accessible filmmaking is clearly a very important subject that will give us a lot to think about. This book will make a valuable contribution to this and I wish it well." - Ken Loach, Film Director"Up to date, methodical, insightful, innovative and masterly interdisciplinary, this book extends the frontiers of our discipline and is destined to become a seminal contribution to both Film Studies and Translation Studies. Pablo’s arresting way of communicating ideas confirms his reputation as one of the finest scholars in translation today. A must-read, must-have book!"- Jorge Díaz Cintas, University College London, UK"This wonderfully wide-ranging and thoroughly researched book demonstrates in fascinating detail the extent to which the use (and too frequent abuse) of subtitles, voice overs and different national dubbing practices continue to significantly mediate our experience of watching films on television and in the cinema. Accessible Filmmaking should be read by every kind of practising filmmaker and critic, as well as by media studies lecturers, students, international film distributors and all TV executives."- Mike Dibb, Bafta- and Emmy-winning director of Ways of Seeing (1972) and The Miles Davis Story (2001)"In a ground-breaking book, Pablo Romero-Fresco considers why accessibility has been overlooked in film production. He also convincingly proposes strategies for its integration both in the film-making process and in the discipline of Film Studies. Written in a clear style and covering a wide range of interrelated issues concerning production and reception, this timely, clear and thought-provoking book will be essential reading for practitioners, teachers and students interested in the accessibility of films."- Peter William Evans, Queen Mary University of London, UK"Accessible Filmmaking: Integrating translation and accessibility into the filmmaking process has arrived just in time. Written by a scholar with a practical and scientific background in Film (Studies), (Audiovisual)Translation and Media Accessibility, it combines innovative research with practice-oriented and original conceptual out-of-the-box thinking.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Transnational Horror Across Visual Media
Book SynopsisThis volume investigates the horror genre across national boundaries (including locations such as Africa, Turkey, and post-Soviet Russia) and different media forms, illustrating the ways that horror can be theorized through the circulation, reception, and production of transnational media texts. Perhaps more than any other genre, horror is characterized by its ability to be simultaneously aware of the local while able to permeate national boundaries, to function on both regional and international registers. The essays here explore political models and allegories, questions of cult or subcultural media and their distribution practices, the relationship between regional or cultural networks, and the legibility of international horror iconography across distinct media. The book underscores how a discussion of contemporary international horror is not only about genre but about how genre can inform theories of visual cultures and the increasing permeability of their borders.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Wedding Spectacle Across Contemporary Media
Book SynopsisThis book interrogates the hyper-visibility and stubborn endurance of the wedding spectacle across media and culture in the current climate.The wide-ranging chapters consider why the symbolic power of weddings is intensifying at a time when marriage as an institution appears to be in decline and they offer new insights into the shifting and complex gender politics of contemporary culture. The collection is a feminist project but does not straight-forwardly renounce the wedding spectacle. Rather, the diverse contributions offer close analyses of the myriad forms and practices of the wedding spectacle, from reality television and cinematic film to wedding videography and bridal boutiques. Drawing on feminist and queer theory, the chapters illuminate the paradoxes, contradictions, disappointments, cruelties and pleasures that are intimately bound up with the wedding spectacle. Written by leading and emerging feminist scholars, the chapters range across different nationalTrade ReviewThis fascinating collection significantly updates and expands our understanding of the popular cultures of weddings. Analyzing the wedding as a premiere site of spectacle, aspiration and the staging of social intimacy, it also unpacks its digitalization, globalization and complex affects and calls our attention to what we might think of as the growing distance between weddings and marriage.Diane Negra, Professor of Film Studies and Screen Culture, University College DublinGrounded in a critique of the class hierarchies and rampant inequalities of racialised heteropatriarchy, this book resists a straightforward dismissal of the mediated wedding spectacle. Instead, the plural feminist perspectives offer (com)passionate explorations of sites of resistance and ambivalence. They identify themes of identity, power, desire, consent, affect, camp, generation, while interrogating the mediated production of intimacies, connectivities and conflicts.Alison Winch, Lecturer in Media Studies, University of East AngliaTable of ContentsList of FiguresList of ContributorsAbstractsSomething Old, Something New: The Gender Politics of the Wedding SpectacleJilly Boyce Kay, Melanie Kennedy and Helen Wood The Bride Wore Dread: Dissent and Desire for the Wedding Spectacle in Sex and the City, from the Box to the Big-screen Deborah Jermyn Making a Spectacle of Yourself: British-Asian Wedding Videography as Alternative Archives of Belonging Jilly Boyce Kay and Kajal Nisha Patel Weddings, Anti-Heroines, and Postfeminist Cynicism Suzanne Leonard Say Yes to the Dress and the Affective Rhythms of Repetition and Reflection Natasha Whiteman and Helen Wood Big Fat Royal Weddings: Kate the "Commoner" Princess and Classed Moral Economies Laura Clancy "Time for all of us to Walk into the Sunshine Together": Glee, Same-sex Wedding Spectacle and the Imagining of Queer Futures Kate McNicholas Smith Tailored for Marriage, Ready for the Stage: Frames of the Family Regime on "The Marriage Show Feyza Akınerdem Keeping it Classy: Wedding Dresses and Distinctions Jenny Thatcher Tailor-made Suits and "Crappy Drag Queens": Constructing Gay and Lesbian Weddings in Reality TV Michael Lovelock Spectacular Virgins: Purity Porn and the Making Uncanny of the White Wedding Melanie Kennedy On Blushing Brides and the Compulsory Logics of Hetero-Femininity: The Glow in Transatlantic Media Culture Brenda R.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Interviewing for Journalists
Book SynopsisInterviewing for Journalists focuses on the central journalistic skill of how to ask the right questions in the right way. It is a practical and concise guide for all print and online journalists professionals, students and trainees who write news stories and features for newspapers, magazines and online publications. In the age of digital journalism, where computer-based research is easily available, this new edition seeks to emphasise the value of getting out there, engaging with people directly and building relationships to create original and meaningful media content. Interviewing for Journalists highlights the many different approaches to interviewing, from vox pops and press conferences to news interviews and in-depth profiles. This third edition features brand new interviews with some of the most successful journalists in the industry, including Camilla Long of The Sunday Times, Heidi Blake of BuzzFeed UK, Brian Viner of the Trade Review‘Chapters 1–5 are really, really useful. They cover just about every situation you can come across in interviewing. Students enjoy learning all the ways of interpreting expressions, positions, words, and so on, and I can use interviews from the internet to illustrate and get the class to video their own interviews and look out for these things… Interviewing for the internet is far too short and needs updating, and the chapter on note-taking and recording is way out of date… It’s actually the only journalism skills book I ask students to buy.’ Judith Clarke, Department of Journalism, Hong Kong Baptist University, China‘The book is fairly basic, ideal for my first-year students. It sets out the idea of interviewing and goes through various scenarios, telling students not only how to take notes, check quotes etc., but also the personality traits required to do a good interview, such as determination and persistence… It would help to have more first-person scenarios to keep readers’ interest as they read the text, as well as exercises that the reader can do in their own time.’ Wendy Sloane, London Metropolitan, UK Table of ContentsAcknowledgements; Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: Communicating and interviewing: the basics (Section 1: How I interview: Camilla Long); Chapter 3: News interviewing (Section 2: How I interview: Justin Davenport); Chapter 4: Planning and preparation (Section 3: How I interview: Sheron Boyle); Chapter 5: The interview itself (Section 4: How I interview: Cole Moreton); Chapter 6: Interviewing techniques (Section 5: How I interview: Susan Grossman); Chapter 7: Vox pops and other interviewing opportunities (Section 6: How I interview: Wendy Holden); Chapter 8: The twenty-first century tools of interviewing (Section 7: How I interview: Brian Viner); Chapter 9: Interviewing by telephone, email, text and Skype (Section 8: How I interview: Heidi Blake); Chapter 10: Interviewing the famous – and infamous (Section 9: How I interview: Stephanie Rafanelli); Chapter 11: How to manage challenging, difficult or sensitive interviews (Section 10: How I interview: Dorothy Lepkowska); Chapter 12: After the interview (Section 11: How I interview: Emma Brockes); Chapter 13: Law and ethics; Recommended books and films; Index

Taylor & Francis The City Symphony Phenomenon
Book SynopsisThe 1920s and 1930s saw the rise of the city symphony, an experimental film form that presented the city as protagonist instead of mere decor. Combining experimental, documentary, and narrative practices, these films were marked by a high level of abstraction reminiscent of high-modernist experiments in painting and photography. Moreover, interwar city symphonies presented a highly fragmented, oftentimes kaleidoscopic sense of modern life, and they organized their urban-industrial images through rhythmic and associative montage that evoke musical structures. In this comprehensive volume, contributors consider the full 80 film corpus, from Manhatta and Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Grosstadt to lesser-known cinematic explorations.Trade Review"The City Symphony Phenomenon: Cinema, Art, and Urban Modernity Between the Wars, a product of scholarly sleuthing and obsession, is a fascinating and valuable achievement."- Charles Musser, Yale University, USA"With the publication of The City Symphony Phenomenon: Cinema, Art, and Urban Modernity Between the Wars, editors Steven Jacobs, Eva Hielscher, and Anthony Kinik have created an invaluable contribution to the understanding of this compelling form of international film modernism."- S.

It challenges accounts that see the film's young people as juvenile delinquents, using instead the label cultural rebels' as a signifier of youth's ability to resurrect a moribund music industry and rejuvenate a stale youth culture.

Book SynopsisMediatization and Mobile Lives: A Critical Approach contributes to a complex, situated and critical understanding of what mediatization means and how it works in contemporary life. The book explores the tension between the extended capabilities offered by media technology and growing media reliance, focusing particularly on mobile middle-class lives.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Film Theory
Book SynopsisWhat is the relationship between cinema and spectator? This is the key question for film theory, and one that Thomas Elsaesser and Malte Hagener put at the center of their insightful and engaging book, now revised from its popular first edition. Every kind of cinema (and every film theory) first imagines an ideal spectator, and then maps certain dynamic interactions between the screen and the spectator's mind, body and senses. Using seven distinctive configurations of spectator and screen that move progressively from exterior' to interior' relationships, the authors retrace the most important stages of film theory from its beginnings to the presentfrom neo-realist and modernist theories to psychoanalytic, apparatus,' phenomenological and cognitivist theories, and including recent cross-overs with philosophy and neurology.This new and updated edition of Film Theory: An Introduction through the Senses has been extensively revised and rewritten throughout, iTable of ContentsIntroduction: Film Theory, Cinema, the Body and the Senses 1. Cinema as Window and Frame 2. Cinema as Door – Screen and Threshold 3. Cinema as Mirror – Face and Close-Up 4. Cinema as Eye – Look and Gaze 5. Cinema as Skin – Body and Touch 6.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Gender Migration and the Media
Book SynopsisThis volume brings together a number of experts who explore conceptual and policy challenges, as well as empirical realities, associated with gender and migration in highly mediated societies. The need to more systematically address the gendered experience of migration, especially in relation to political and cultural representation, is in the core of the discussions that unfold in this book. The book''s chapters address a number of critical questions in relation to the representation of women as members of communities and as outsiders in culturally diverse societies. In doing so, the collection pays particular attention to the sphere of media and communications. Mediated communication has become crucially important in the construction of meanings of identity and citizenship, while the media have taken centre stage in framing debates on migration, border control and gender representations in culturally diverse societies. Gender, Migration and the Media presents a Table of Contents1. Introduction Part I: Conceptual and policy interrogations 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Disability and the Media
Book SynopsisScholars have long recognized the media's role in shaping and reflecting the way we see the world, ourselves, and others. In particular, they have understood that the media plays a vital part in the social and cultural construction of disability. Moreover, as new types of media proliferate, and become increasingly important in our daily lives, addressing the sometimes difficult questions surrounding the relationship between disability and the media is more important than ever. In particular, what is the media's role in the disablement of people with impairments and can it also act as a powerful agent of change? And how are attitudes towards people with disabilities constantly reinscribed through media such as television, film, and the Internet?Now, this new four-volume collection from Routledge's acclaimed Critical Concepts in Media and Cultural Studies series enables users readily to access and make sense of the essential texts of disability-and-media scholarship.

The collection of original essays addresses the emerging forms, popular genres, and innovative approaches of the digital era.

The contributors here connect with international innovation and future possibilities from a firm base in established scholarship, continuing the renewal of critical thinking that is now required."John Corner, Professor in Communication Studies, University of Leeds, UK"A lively blend of emerging scholars and the usual suspects, Contemporary Documentary takes on the long and growing list of sub-genres that will either expand or explode what we have so comfortably referred to as ‘documentary’. The best of its arguments add new depth to cinema’s adventures with reality."Seth Feldman, Professor of Film and Television Studies, York University, Canada"Bottom line: this should be required reading for those interested in documentary film in all its manifestations.
