Journalism’s Lost Generation: The Un-doing of U.S. Newspaper Newsrooms
by Scott ReinardyJournalism’s Lost Generation discusses how the changes in the industry not only indicate a newspaper crisis, but also a crisis of local communities, a loss of professional skills, and a void in institutional and community knowledge emanating from newsrooms. Reinardy’s thorough and opinionated take on the transition seen in newspaper newsrooms is coupled with an examination of the journalism industry today. This text also provides a broad view of the newspaper journalism being produced today, and those who are attempting to produce it.
Journalism’s Racial Reckoning: The News Media’s Pivot to Diversity and Inclusion (Routledge Focus on Journalism Studies)
by Brad ClarkThis book addresses endemic issues of racism in news media at what is a critical moment in time, as journalists around the world speak out en masse against the prejudice and inequality in the industry. As the events of 2020 – the death of George Floyd, the rise in prominence of the Black Lives Matter movement – have drawn new and focused attention to inequality, white supremacy, and systemic racism, including in the media, this volume chronicles this racial reckoning, revisiting and examining the issues that it has raised. The author analyses media output by racialized and Indigenous journalists, identifying the racial make-up of newsrooms; the dominance of white perspectives in news coverage; interpretations of ethics downplaying systemic racism and bias; ignorance of racist history in editorial decisions and news content; and diversity and inclusion measures. The actions taken by news organizations in response to the reckoning are also detailed and placed in the context of existing race and media scholarship, to offer emerging strategies to address journalism’s longstanding issues with racism in news content and newsrooms. Grounding the interplay between news media and race within this pivotal moment in history, this text will be an important resource for students and scholars of journalism, journalism ethics, sociology, cultural studies, organizational studies, media and communication studies.
Journalism's Roving Eye: A History of American Foreign Reporting (From Our Own Correspondent)
by John Maxwell HamiltonIn all of journalism, nowhere are the stakes higher than in foreign news-gathering. For media owners, it is the most difficult type of reporting to finance; for editors, the hardest to oversee. Correspondents, roaming large swaths of the planet, must acquire expertise that home-based reporters take for granted -- facility with the local language, for instance, or an understanding of local cultures. Adding further to the challenges, they must put news of the world in context for an audience with little experience and often limited interest in foreign affairs -- a task made all the more daunting because of the consequence to national security. In Journalism's Roving Eye, John Maxwell Hamilton -- a historian and former foreign correspondent -- provides a sweeping and definitive history of American foreign news reporting from its inception to the present day and chronicles the economic and technological advances that have influenced overseas coverage, as well as the cavalcade of colorful personalities who shaped readers' perceptions of the world across two centuries.From the colonial era -- when newspaper printers hustled down to wharfs to collect mail and periodicals from incoming ships -- to the ongoing multimedia press coverage of the Iraq War, Hamilton explores journalism's constant -- and not always successful -- efforts at "dishing the foreign news," as James Gordon Bennett put it in the mid-nineteenth century to describe his approach in the New York Herald. He details the highly partisan coverage of the French Revolution, the early emergence of "special correspondents" and the challenges of organizing their efforts, the profound impact of the non-yellow press in the run-up to the Spanish-American War, the increasingly sophisticated machinery of propaganda and censorship that surfaced during World War I, and the "golden age" of foreign correspondence during the interwar period, when outlets for foreign news swelled and a large number of experienced, independent journalists circled the globe. From the Nazis' intimidation of reporters to the ways in which American popular opinion shaped coverage of Communist revolution and the Vietnam War, Hamilton covers every aspect of delivering foreign news to American doorsteps.Along the way, Hamilton singles out a fascinating cast of characters, among them Victor Lawson, the overlooked proprietor of the Chicago Daily News, who pioneered the concept of a foreign news service geared to American interests; Henry Morton Stanley, one of the first reporters to generate news on his own with his 1871 expedition to East Africa to "find Livingstone"; and Jack Belden, a forgotten brooding figure who exemplified the best in combat reporting. Hamilton details the experiences of correspondents, editors, owners, publishers, and network executives, as well as the political leaders who made the news and the technicians who invented ways to transmit it. Their stories bring the narrative to life in arresting detail and make this an indispensable book for anyone wanting to understand the evolution of foreign news-gathering. Amid the steep drop in the number of correspondents stationed abroad and the recent decline of the newspaper industry, many fear that foreign reporting will soon no longer exist. But as Hamilton shows in this magisterial work, traditional correspondence survives alongside a new type of reporting. Journalism's Roving Eye offers a keen understanding of the vicissitudes in foreign news, an understanding imperative to better seeing what lies ahead.

Journalismus und (sein) Publikum
by Wiebke Loosen Marco DohleDas Bild von der verschwimmenden Grenze zwischen Kommunikator und Rezipient ist das Leitmotiv zur Charakterisierung der gewandelten Kommunikationsverhältnisse im Onlinezeitalter. Die akademische Trennung zwischen Journalismusforschung und Rezeptions- und Wirkungsforschung erschwert es, die damit verbundenen Entwicklungen und Phänomene adäquat zu beschreiben und zu analysieren. Dieser Band versammelt daher Beiträge, die sich mit den Schnittstellen zwischen Journalismusforschung und Rezeptions- und Wirkungsforschung auseinandersetzten und Theorien, Ansätze und Methoden aus beiden Feldern miteinander abgleichen. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die Frage, wie eine derart integrierende Perspektive dazu beitragen kann, die gewandelten gesellschaftlichen Kommunikationsverhältnisse theoretisch und empirisch in den Griff zu bekommen.

The Journalist of Castro Street: The Life of Randy Shilts
by Andrew E StonerAs the acclaimed author of And the Band Played On, Randy Shilts became the country's most recognized voice on the HIV/AIDS epidemic. His success emerged from a relentless work ethic and strong belief in the power of journalism to help mainstream society understand not just the rising tide of HIV/AIDS but gay culture and liberation.In-depth and dramatic, Andrew E. Stoner's biography follows the remarkable life of the brash, pioneering journalist. Shilts's reporting on AIDS in San Francisco broke barriers even as other gay writers and activists ridiculed his overtures to the mainstream and labeled him a traitor to the movement, charges the combative Shilts forcefully answered. Behind the scenes, Shilts overcame career-threatening struggles with alcohol and substance abuse to achieve the notoriety he had always sought, while the HIV infection he had purposely kept hidden began to take his life.Filled with new insights and fascinating detail, The Journalist of Castro Street reveals the historic work and passionate humanity of the legendary investigative reporter and author.

Journalistic Authority: Legitimating News in the Digital Era
by Matt CarlsonWhen we encounter a news story, why do we accept its version of events? Why do we even recognize it as news? A complicated set of cultural, structural, and technological relationships inform this interaction, and Journalistic Authority provides a relational theory for explaining how journalists attain authority. The book argues that authority is not a thing to be possessed or lost, but a relationship arising in the connections between those laying claim to being an authority and those who assent to it. Matt Carlson examines the practices journalists use to legitimate their work: professional orientation, development of specific news forms, and the personal narratives they circulate to support a privileged social place. He then considers journalists' relationships with the audiences, sources, technologies, and critics that shape journalistic authority in the contemporary media environment. Carlson argues that journalistic authority is always the product of complex and variable relationships. Journalistic Authority weaves together journalists’ relationships with their audiences, sources, technologies, and critics to present a new model for understanding journalism while advocating for practices we need in an age of fake news and shifting norms.

Journalistic Practices in Restrictive Contexts: A Sociological Approach to the Case of Iran (Routledge Research in Journalism)
by Banafsheh RanjiBased on fieldwork conducted in Iran, this book discusses how it is possible for journalism to exist and function in a restrictive context. The book brings together a range of structural (macro), organizational (meso), and individual (micro) processes to analyze journalistic practice in a politically restrictive setting, a context thus far dominated by structural explanations. Using Pierre Bourdieu’s work as a starting point, Banafsheh Ranji develops an explanatory framework for how Iranian journalists navigate the daily 'minefield' of their professional environment. The analysis sheds light on the everyday reality of journalism in Iran, addressing factors that hinder journalists’ work while also showing how journalists use a set of double game strategies to simultaneously circumvent constraints and avoid retaliation. Moving beyond notions of censorship and repression that accompany discussions of journalism in such settings, the book instead focuses on how we may think of critical journalism, professionalism, and journalistic power, agency, and autonomy in restrictive contexts. Offering powerful insights into the realities of journalism in a tightly controlled environment, this book will be a key resource for scholars and students of journalism, media and communication studies, political science, sociology, Iranian studies, and Middle East studies.

Journalistische Gatekeeper in den Sozialen Medien: Eine empirische Analyse der Nachrichtenverbreitung durch Journalist*innen anhand von Ereignis- und Meldungsmerkmalen
by Lars-Ole WehdenDie Rezeption vielfältiger Nachrichten führt zu normativ wünschenswerten Effekten. Zuletzt haben sich die Sozialen Medien für manche als wichtigste Nachrichtenquelle etabliert. Kann das dort präsentierte Nachrichtenangebot Ansprüche an Vielfalt genauso einlösen, wie andere Zugangswege? Und welche Kriterien beeinflussen die Nachrichtenselektion von Gatekeepern in den Sozialen Medien? Bisher wurden diese Fragen nur unzureichend untersucht. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist daher die Identifikation von Artikel- und Meldungsmerkmalen, die die journalistische Verbreitung von Nachrichten in den Sozialen Medien befördern. Die Vielfalt des Nachrichtenangebots in den Sozialen Medien wird zudem ihrem Äquivalent auf journalistischen Webseiten gegenübergestellt. Dazu wird eine qualitative Expertenbefragung mit einem inhaltsanalytischen Input-Output-Vergleich journalistischer Artikel verknüpft. Die Ergebnisse attestieren dem in den Sozialen Medien journalistisch präsentierten Nachrichtenangebot eine nur geringfügig verminderte Vielfalt. Nachrichtenfaktoren üben an diesem Schleusentor hingegen nur einen geringen zusätzlichen Einfluss aus. Stattdessen sind auch bisher vernachlässigte formale Aspekte bedeutsam.
