Description
Book SynopsisThis book explores the symbiotic relationship between various models of democracy and journalism, including liberal democracy and trustee journalism, deliberative democracy and public journalism, and participatory democracy and citizen journalism.
Trade ReviewThe role of journalism in a democracy has been generalized as a normative ideal without explaining what journalism is and what democracy looks like. This book takes these assumptions apart by explicating how different types of democracies enable distinct varieties of journalism, and in turn, alternative conceptions of the type of imagined public. -- Nikki Usher, The George Washington University
