This book offers a deep and comprehensive overview of constructive journalism, setting out the guiding principles and practices for a journalism that aims to do more than simply inform about problems.In this authoritative yet concise volume, Peter Bro asks what does constructive journalism mean, what are the underlying principles, how is it practiced, and in what ways does it differ from other types of journalism? Drawing on studies of the rapidly growing number of works by both journalism practitioners and researchers, the book reaches beyond these questions to show how the notion of being constructive has been a part of journalism from the very beginning of the profession.This introduction to what constructive journalism is and was and what it can accomplish will guide new journalists; journalism, media, and mass communication students; and scholars working on journalistic theory and practice.

Complexities and dilemmas are evident in journalism in the digital and data age. Scarcity of audiences'attention jeopardises the survival of information media in the market, technological penetration increasingly renders journalism a complex information system, and the rise of partisan journalism accompanies the crisis of objective reporting. Analysing the evolving industry as it turns to the help of digital technologies such as algorithms and cloud computing to reach and engage local and global audiences, Journalism, Economic Uncertainty and Political Irregularity in the Digital and Data Era explores the challenges journalism faces in great depth and detail. Tong discusses the transformation of quality journalism that has become high-tech, interdisciplinary, saturated with human interest, and sometimes even fiercely partisan under the influence of multiple disruptions brought about by digital technology, economic uncertainty, and political irregularity. A timely and important contribution to the research of journalism, Journalism, Economic Uncertainty and Political Irregularity in the Digital and Data Era bridges media with the fields of sociology, politics, technology, and culture studies – central for academics, writers and researchers.

Wenn von Nachrichtenauswahl und Thematisierungsfunktion der Medien die Rede ist, fällt schnell das Fachwort Agenda-Setting. Der gegenteilige Begriff, das Agenda-Cutting, ist dagegen viel seltener Gegenstand von wissenschaftlichen oder gesellschaftlichen Diskussionen. Dabei ist das Agenda-Cutting eine weitflächig geübte Praxis in Medien, Politik und Gesellschaft, bei der Themen bewusst oder unbewusst aus den gesellschaftlichen Diskursen entfernt oder herausgehalten werden. Die Initiative Nachrichtenaufklärung beschäftigt sich schon lange intensiv mit der Frage der Vernachlässigung von Themen und Nachrichten. Mit diesem Sammelband wird erstmals das Thema wissenschaftlich tiefgehend von verschiedenen Seiten aus betrachtet.

Vertrauen ist im sozialen Leben und in der Gesellschaft eine wichtige Ressource und Produktivkraft. Das Buch beschreibt in einem konzeptionellen Teil wie sich Vertrauen entwickelt, wie es definiert werden kann und aus welchen Elementen sich ein Vertrauensprozess zusammensetzt. Vorgestellt werden ein Vertrauensmodell sowie Wege, Vertrauen und Misstrauen empirisch zu erforschen. Im empirischen Teil werden Daten aus eigenen repräsentativen Befragungen präsentiert. Dabei werden vertrauensvolle und misstrauische Menschen charakterisiert. Ausführlich werden Medien und Journalismus als Objekte von Vertrauen, Skepsis und Misstrauen behandelt. Dargestellt wird, welche Rolle Medien und Journalismus bei Vertrauen in Politik, Wissenschaft und Religion spielen, bevor bilanzierend reflektiert wird, wie Vertrauen geschaffen und Misstrauen vermieden werden kann.

Desinformation, Fake News zerstören Vertrauen und ver- oder behindern die rekonstruktive Konstruktion von Wirklichkeit mit weitreichenden Folgen für das individuelle Lernen und das gesellschaftliche Handeln. Die Arbeit beschreibt und definiert vor dem Hintergrund einer theoretisch-analytischen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Wahrheitsbegriff das Realphänomen der Fake News. Im empirischen Teil wird die deutschsprachige Impfkommunikation der Jahre 2018-2019 in ausgewählten Printmedien und auf YouTube im Rahmen einer Inhaltsanalyse unter anderem auf Fake News hin untersucht. Ebenfalls wird die Moral Foundations Theory genutzt, um moralische Inhaltsbezüge zu dekodieren und ihren Zusammenhang mit Fake News herzustellen. Kapitel zur Gesundheitskommunikation und zur Geschichte der Impfgegner bieten weiteren Kontext zur Deutung der Ergebnisse.

Aunque el imaginario colectivo lo ubique en las antípodas, el periodismo se encuentra muy cerca de la literatura: por el uso de la palabra, por el uso de las estructuras y, sobre todo, por el uso de los recursos. De eso trata este libro de Adriana Amado, de las metáforas que se usan en el periodismo, especularmente, para hablar del periodismo. A partir de una indagación profunda y con una mirada original y una expresión definitivamente amable, Amado nos introduce en este fenómeno universal que emplea figuras retóricas cada vez que se refiere a sí mismo. Y es que, en un recorrido por las metáforas que el periodismo cristalizara a lo largo de más de un siglo, Las metáforas del periodismo se cuestiona la vigencia y las paradojas de una profesión que se ha convertido, con la irrupción de lo digital en nuestro tiempo, en la vedette de los medios (valga la metáfora) y en tema de conversación de la gente común. Un texto entretenido, lúcido y oportuno. Una luz diferente sobre un asunto cotidiano.

Beyond Journalistic Norms contests and challenges pre-established assumptions about a dominant type of journalism prevailing in different political, economic, and geographical contexts to posit the fluid, and dynamic nature of journalistic roles.The book brings together scholars from Western and Eastern Europe, North America, Latin America, and Asia, reporting findings based on data collected from democratic, transitional, and non-democratic contexts to produce thematic chapters that address how journalistic cultures vary around the globe, specifically in relation to challenges that journalists face in performing their journalistic roles. The study measures, compares, and analyzes the materialization of the interventionist, the watchdog, the loyal-facilitator, the service, the infotainment, and the civic roles in more than 30,000 print news stories from 18 countries. It also draws from hundreds of surveys with journalists to explain the link between ideals and practices, and the conditions that shape this divide. This book will be of great relevance to scholars and researchers working in the fields of journalism, journalism practices, philosophy of journalism, sociology of media, and comparative journalism research.

This book illuminates the concept of disaster communities through a series of international case studies. It offers an eclectic overview of how different forms of media and journalism contribute to our understanding of the lived experiences of communities at risk from, affected by, and recovering from disaster. This collection considers the different forms of media and journalism produced by and for communities and how they may recognise and speak to the different notions of community that emerge in disaster contexts – including vulnerabilities and consequences that arise from environmental destruction and geophysical hazards, the insecurity created by armed conflict and limitations on journalistic freedoms, and result from human (in)action and humanitarian crises.

'Indispensable.... for anyone who cares about journalism.'- Professor Karin Wahl-Jorgensen How can we understand the complex relationship between journalism and emotion? In a world of live-streamed terror, polarised political debates and fake news, emotion has become central to our understanding of contemporary journalism. Including interviews with leading journalists throughout, Journalism and Emotion critically explores the impact of this new affective media environment, not just on the practice of journalism, but also the lived experience of journalists themselves. Bringing together theory and practice, Stephen Jukes explores: The history of objectivity and emotion in journalism, from pre-internet to digital. The ‘emotionalisation'of culture in today's populist media landscape. The blurring of boundaries between journalism and social media content. The professional practices of journalists working with emotive material. The mental health risks to journalists covering traumatic stories. The impact on journalists handling graphic user-generated content. In today's interactive, interconnected and participatory media environment, there is more emotive content being produced and shared than ever before. Journalism and Emotion helps you make sense of this, explaining how emotion is mobilised to influence public opinion, and how journalists themselves work with and through emotional material.

Das vorliegende Buch zu Struktur und Entstehungsbedingung Lateinamerikas in der deutschen Presse basiert auf einer in dieser Dimension bis heute nicht vorhandenen empirischen Grundlage. Die Studie basiert auf 21.929 Beiträgen, von denen mithilfe einer geschichteten Stichprobe 4.164 in die Analyse einbezogen, ausgewertet und mit Korrespondenten-Interviews kombiniert wurden. Sie beleuchtet die Auswahlkriterien und Mechanismen der Berichterstattung zu Lateinamerika und füllte eine Forschungslücke zu einem Thema, das außenpolitisch extrem relevant ist. Das Buch betrachtet Themen und Merkmale des Mediendiskurses in kombinierter Form, stellt Länderprofile dar und sucht nach theoretischen Erklärungen für die Bildkonstruktionen. Die Studie kommt zum Ergebnis, dass es das Lateinamerikabild in der deutschen Presse nicht gibt, sondern sich eine Perzeption nach Ländern und Landesgruppen ausdifferenziert lässt. Die Forschungsarbeit ist über das Fachgebiet Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaft hinaus interessant und bedeutet einen Gewinn für die Lateinamerikaforschung in Deutschland.

Journalism used to be a thing. It used to be a powerful and wonderful thing, yet now it has become a curiosity, and not even the Internet can resurrect it. When Journalism was a Thing considers the downfall and the reasons why, but also offers a model for a new approach to the once-noble profession.

This book analyses the translation strategies employed by journalists when reporting foreign news events to home audiences. Using English-language press coverage of inflammatory comments made by Nicolas Sarkozy in his role as French interior minister in 2005 as a case study, the author illustrates the secondary level of mediation that occurs when news crosses linguistic and cultural borders. This critical analysis examines the norm for ‘domesticating'news translation practices and explores the potential for introducing a degree of ‘foreignisation'as a means to facilitating cross-cultural engagement and understanding. The book places emphasis on foreign-language quotation and culture-specific concepts as two key sites of translation in the news, and addresses a need for research that clarifies where translation, as a distinct part of the newswriting process, occurs. The interdisciplinary nature of this book will appeal to a broad range of readers, in particular scholars and students in the fields of translation, media, culture and journalism studies.

He travels to an international journalism festival in Italy, visits the Guardian in London, and speaks to editors, reporters, entrepreneurs, investors, non-profit leaders, and news consumers from around the world to find out what's gone wrong.
