News as a fundamental social process comes into being not when an event takes place or when a report of the event is created but when that report becomes news to someone. As it moves off the page into the community, news discovers - through its interpretations - its reality in the lives of the consumers. This book explores the path of news as it moves through the tangled labyrinth of social identities and asserted interests that lie beyond the page or screen. The language and communication-oriented study of news promises a salient area of investigation, pointing the way to an expansion, if not a redefinition of basic anthropological ideas and practices of ethnography, participant observation, and “the field” in the future of anthropological research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e“...Extensively referenced, this is a book for communication theorists and anthropologists.”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e  ·  Choice\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t“…\u003cem\u003ean intriguing read which can broaden the perception of the news media and stir class debates as well as suggest further academic research…[It] is a complex academic work…[offering] suitable and inspiring reading for postgraduate students and scholars.\u003c\/em\u003e”\u003cb\u003e  ·  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedia, Culture \u0026amp; Society\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e News and the Anthropology of Conflict Communication\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e The Dark Side of the News: News as Control Communication\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e Two Theories of News: The Civic Model and the Conflict Discourse Systems Model\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e The News Act: News Analysis and Semiotic Theory\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e News and Law as Conflict Communication Systems\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/b\u003e News in Extra-Textual Terrain\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/b\u003e Policy Talk: In Law, the Street, and on Television\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/b\u003e Order, Disorder, and the News Media in Western Society: Whose Side are they On?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tWorks Cited\u003cbr\u003e \tFigures 1, 2, and 3\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042981183831,"sku":"9781845455798","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781845455798.jpg?v=1750956503","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/alarming-reports-communicating-conflict-in-the-daily-news-9781845455798","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
