Free Download Multicultural Journalism: Critical Reflexivity in News Practice
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1138066427 | 248 Pages | PDF (True) | 9 MB
This text proposes a feminist collaborative model of journalism that incorporates critical reflexivity, requiring journalists not only to be aware of their own cultural positionality but also that of their sources, as a means of producing more authentic and balanced news coverage. The model is intended for use by journalists as well as journalism education programs to educate future journalists on how to effectively serve audiences with scrupulously investigated, reported, and crafted stories. Chapters explore journalism during the Obama and Trump years, current journalistic trends, and alternative media, and feature topics such as fake news, racism, sexism in news production and content, and immigration and media. Thompson addresses issues of power and privilege amongst journalists and marginalized groups, and how these implicate power dynamics of journalism practice and reinforce social inequality, particularly relating to race and gender.

Free Download Haiyan Wang, "The Transformation of Investigative Journalism in China: From Journalists to Activists"
English | ISBN: 1498527612 | 2016 | 188 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Investigative journalism emerged in China in the 1980s following Deng Xiaoping’s media reforms. Over the past few decades, Chinese investigative journalists have produced an increasing number of reports in print or on air and covered a surprisingly wide range of topics which had been thought impossible by the standards of the Communist era. In the 2010s, however, investigative journalism has been replaced by activist journalism. This book examines how, with the aid of new media technologies and in response to new calls for social responsibility, these new-era journalists vigorously seek to expand the scope of their journalism and their capacity as journalists. They tend to perceive themselves as more than professional journalists, and their activities are not limited to the physical boundaries of newsrooms. They are not only detached observers of society but also engaged organizers of social movements-they are social activists as well as responsible journalists who challenge state power and the party line and point to the limitations of the more traditional conceptions of journalism in China. This book analyzes how journalism in China has been gradually transformed from a tool of the state to a means of broadening calls for democratic reform.

Across the United States, newsrooms are grappling with systemic racism in their organizations and the media industry.

Free Download Chengju Huang, "Popular Journalism in Contemporary China: Politics, Market, Culture and Technology "
English | ISBN: 3031405293 | 2023 | 206 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book, the first of its kind, investigates the historical trajectory and current situation of popular journalism in the People’s Republic of China. Taking a popular cultural perspective, the book redefines "popular journalism" as a particular journalistic genre and media form and applies it to conceptualize popular journalism in the Chinese context. In particular, it examines how the dynamic and complex interplay of politics, the market, culture, and communication technology in shifting contexts has shaped the changing landscape of popular journalism in contemporary China. Meanwhile, regardless of how these factors might have changed over time, the fundamental nature of popular journalism as a source of fun and a troublemaker against elite powers in China, as in other places, has remained. The book further argues that the historical development of popular journalism in China forms an important and integral part of the country’s social-cultural fabric and ultimately illustrates the mediated ideological and cultural struggle between popular/public and elite/state discourses in the country’s everyday social life in its challenging and discursive transition to modernity.

Free Download Kate Campbell, "Journalism, Literature and Modernity"
English | ISBN: 1853311758 | 2000 | 288 pages | PDF | 13 MB
Journalism has often been disregarded by literary critics and authors alike. Its difference from literature has been heightened by its identification with daily newspaper journalism and reporting. Yet ‘journalism’ broadly refers to all writing in public journals, spanning high culture and popular culture. It has been central to experiences of modernity, making its dismissal problematic. Journalism, Literature and Modernity considers journalism in its diversity, suggesting its aptness for interdisciplinary study. The authors examine writing in journals across a cultural spectrum-literary journals, organs of culture, magazines, journals promoting modernism, and daily newspapers. Demonstrating a variety of approaches, they explore journalism’s importance in relation to gender, modernity and modernism through readings of established writers and critics – William Hazlitt, Charles Dickens, Matthew Arnold, Walter Pater, Rebecca West, Virginia Woolf, Laura Riding – and journals and journalists – Henry Mayhew,

Free Download Ruth Moon, "Authoritarian Journalism: Controlling the News in Post-Conflict Rwanda "
English | ISBN: 0197623425 | 2023 | 224 pages | PDF | 8 MB
Journalists working in authoritarian countries contend with competing institutional logics. This is particularly the case in post-conflict countries, where journalistic practice is simultaneously shaped by historical antagonisms, global development initiatives, and the authoritarian state. While journalism schools and professional organizations speak a Western logic of objectivity and independence, political history instills a logic of subordination, and organizational business models instill a logic of financially motivated censorship. As more countries move away from democratic models, more and more journalists will face these seemingly irreconcilable pressures.
