The Routledge Companion to News and Journalism brings together scholars committed to the conceptual and methodological development of news and journalism studies from around the world.Across 50 chapters, organized thematically over seven sections, contributions examine a range of pressing challenges for news reporting – including digital convergence, mobile platforms, web analytics and datafication, social media polarization, and the use of drones. Journalism's mediation of social issues is also explored, such as those pertaining to human rights, civic engagement, gender inequalities, the environmental crisis, and the Black Lives Matter movement. Each section raises important questions for academic research, generating fresh insights into journalistic forms, practices, and epistemologies. The Companion furthers our understanding of why we have ended up with the kind of news reporting we have today – its remarkable strengths, the difficulties it faces, and how we might improve upon it for tomorrow.Completely revised and updated for its second edition, this volume is ideal for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers, and academics in the fields of news, media, and journalism studies.

Die Geschichte der Musik ist ohne die Mediengeschichte der Musik nicht denkbar, denn Konservierung und Reproduktion von Musik war stets auf Medien angewiesen. Musik spielt heutzutage in allen Medien – ob Tonträger, Radio, Film, Fernsehen, Zeitschriften oder Onlinemedien – eine große Rolle. Das Handbuch dokumentiert die Entwicklungsgeschichte der Musik in den verschiedenen Medien und nimmt neben der historischen auch technische, ökonomische, ästhetische, kulturelle und gesellschaftliche Perspektiven ein. Namhafte Autorinnen und Autoren aus der Medien-, Kommunikations-, Musik- und Kulturwissenschaft gewährleisten den interdisziplinären Charakter und Anspruch des Handbuchs.

This book brings together a number of contributions examining how changes associated with economic globalization have contributed to the creation of new pressures on, and expectations of, those fields of law connected to the regulation of cross-border commercial transactions. These new demands of law – in particular, that it be more agile or “flexible” in regulating the economy – have prompted lawmakers and regulators in multiple jurisdictions to adopt a range of new regulatory techniques and legal forms to respond to this challenge. In many cases, these adaptations in law have entailed compromising traditional legal principles, such as legal certainty, in favor of empowering regulators with greater discretion than has traditionally been permitted in modern law. This change raises important questions about the meaning of fairness (certainty or flexibility), as well as the relationship between the public and private good.
