2nd Edition
The Handbook of Journalism Studies
This second edition of The Handbook of Journalism Studies explores the current state of research in journalism studies and sets an agenda for future development of the field in an international context.
The volume is structured around theoretical and empirical approaches to journalism research and covers scholarship on news production; news content; journalism and society; journalism and culture; and journalism studies in a global context. As journalism studies has become richer and more diverse as a field of study, the second edition reflects both the growing diversity of the field, and the ways in which journalism itself has undergone rapid change in recent years. Emphasizing comparative and global perspectives, this new edition explores:
- Key elements, thinkers, and texts
- Historical context
- Current state of the field
- Methodological issues
- Merits and advantages of the approach/area of study
- Limitations and critical issues of the approach/area of study
- Directions for future research
Offering broad international coverage from world-leading contributors, this volume is a comprehensive resource for theory and scholarship in journalism studies.
