Taylor & Francis Ltd Journalists and Job Loss
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.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Through the Lens
Book Synopsis2020 was a period of groundbreaking social and political upheaval, in combination with a colossal epidemiological crisisâand it urgently redefined the working conditions of photojournalists. The historic 2020 Black Lives Matter protests and the devastating Covid-19 pandemic presented unique challenges for photojournalism, forcing photographers into a terrain defined by new ethical, technological, and safety (emotional and physical) concerns, as well as innovative attacks on press freedom. Through a series of interviewsâwith top photographers who covered 2020âs biggest crises, as well as key photo editors who grappled with these unprecedented obstacles inside the newsroomâThrough the Lens: The Pandemic and Black Lives Matter unpacks the industryâs most critical debates as it sheds light on the experiences and thought processes of the visual journalists themselves. Importantly, this book encourages readers to consider the efforts behind the camera lens: the challenges anTrade ReviewThis powerful book focuses on the crises of 2020—but its implications go well beyond that one year. Through the Lens asks us to rethink the ways we view the world through images and to understand that unconscious sociopolitical patterns can be influenced by visuals. This important book is essential reading for anyone interested in how history and culture are shaped by the camera. SHEILA PREE BRIGHT, award-winning photog-rapher and author of #1960Now: Photographs of Civil Rights Activists and Black Lives Matter Protests Through the Lens is a nuanced and sophisticated exploration of the role of photography in the Covid-19 pandemic and Black Lives Matter, two historic moments that have raised fundamental questions about photojournalism ethics, identity, and the impact of technological shifts on the field and norms of visual documentation. Dr. Walsh weaves compelling interviews with erudite analysis to contextualize the powerful photos that tell the stories of these transformational events. DR. COURTNEY RADSCH, former Advocacy Director with the Committee to Protect Journalists Through the Lens provides a rare look into the world of photojournalism, giving extraordinary insight into the experiences of those who photographed 2020’s major upheavals. It also forces us to think about the social, political, and historical dynamics of our time and the vital role that photos can play in contemporary conversations. Put simply, it is a masterful overview of the role of photography today. BARBARA DAVIDSON, Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer "There have been profound critics and philosophers about photography in the past, and recently the voice I find most interesting is that of Lauren Walsh… Walsh has a particular talent of bringing voices of photographers together in conversation, to help us understand not aperture or the rule of thirds, but significantly more important things like dignity and context and purpose. Her new book, Through The Lens: The Pandemic and Black Lives Matter, is a book of morals and beliefs and values that form the core of who we are, our work and why we do it." –Frames Magazine"We may be living in an image-saturated world, but the practice of photojournalism including the decisions that photo editors make and the experiences of photographers in the field rarely receive attention. Lauren Walsh’s new book, Through the Lens: The Pandemic and Black Lives Matter, aims to change that, delivering unique insights into the personal and professional challenges photojournalists faced in covering these two seismic global events." –Head On Interactional Magazine "[W]hat happens when the stories being covered force photojournalists into new areas with new ethical and physical safety concerns combined with outright attacks on the press themselves? Dr. Lauren Walsh… looks at both the ethical and safety minded challenges that photojournalists have faced covering both the Covid-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter Movement in her new book Through the Lens: The Pandemic and Black Lives Matter." – Blind Magazine"Richly illustrated with evocative photos, this book reminds us that photojournalism doesn’t simply mirror the world; it has the power to change it." -- YAHOO NEWS"For a field still dominated by white men, 'Through the Lens' brings a refreshing diversity of voices to a set of questions around privacy and consent, the role of captions, graphic imagery and censorship."Colin Dickey, LOS ANGELES TIMES"Visual journalism holds the power to attest, to interrogate, to educate. In the current conflicts around the world, journalists and photographers relay stories to their audiences, yet few may stop to consider how these images and news features are created and what roles they can play in future. In her new book THROUGH THE LENS: THE PANDEMIC AND BLACK LIVES MATTER, Lauren Walsh conducts interviews with leading photographers and photo editors in visual journalism during 2020’s biggest crises, and discussed the challenges they faced in this time, as well as how photojournalism continues to evolve in the present." -- Photomonitor"In her excellent new book, Through the Lens: The Pandemic and Black Lives Matter, NYU professor Lauren Walsh attempts to understand the historic year through the vantage point of the photojournalists that were on the frontlines capturing a multitude of unprecedented events. Walsh records the emotional toll that came with "covering death, destruction, and endemic racism." --VICE WORLD NEWSTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Publishing Contracts and the Post Negotiation
Book SynopsisMany writers dream of having their work published by a respected publishing house, but don't always understand publishing contract terms what they mean for the contracting parties and how they inform book-publishing practice. In turn, publishers struggle to satisfy authors' creative expectations against the industry's commercial demands. This book challenges our perceptions of these authorpublisher power imbalances by recasting the publishing contract as a cultural artefact capable of adapting to the industry's changing landscape. Based on a three-year study of publishing negotiations, Katherine Day reveals how relational contract theory provides possibilities for future negotiations in what she describes as a post negotiation space'.Drawing on the disciplines of cultural studies, law, publishing studies and cultural sociology, this book reveals a unique perspective from publishing professionals and authors within the post negotiation space, presenting the editor as a fundamTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Beyond Mainstream Media
Book SynopsisOffering one of the most comprehensive assessments of alternative media to date, Beyond Mainstream Media examines the rise of alternative media over the last decade, analysing their changing content and editorial strategies, and exploring why many people go beyond the mainstream media for news and information. Considering the differences in agenda between alternative and mainstream media coverage, Cushion sheds light on why right-wing alternative media have become a more prominent part of national media systems than left-wing sites in the Western World. In doing so, he argues that alternative left-wing media should place less emphasis on attacking professional journalism and focus more on converging into the world of mainstream news to promote their politics. This book draws on over 3,500 articles and 17,000 social media posts produced by alternative media, extensive interviews with editors and contributors, and a survey of over 2,700 media users. It develops a compaTrade Review‘Cushion's Beyond Mainstream Media is rigorously researched and masterfully written. Given its international scope and provocative critique, the book promises to become a key text within political communication and journalism studies. I urge my colleagues to read and engage with it.’Professor Victor Pickard, University of Pennsylvania ‘Cushion’s work is invaluable to understanding how the evolution of alternative news is intrinsically tied to mainstream politics and professional journalism. This book suggests the future of news could look brighter with more commingling of alternative and mainstream approaches.’ Professor Jennifer Rauch, Linfield University, author of Resisting the News: Engaged Audiences, Alternative Media and Popular Critique of Journalism'A fascinating and much needed empirical analysis of the production, content and user engagement of ‘alternative political media’ in the UK that helps us to understand why people trust mainstream media (and politics) less and how alternative news media have evolved in relation to them.

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.

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.

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
