Forced to take a job writing for The Daily Tabloid, he is sent to his old hometown, where he gathers stories from neighbors he always considered to be weird. Among them are Leroy, whose thumb has been bleeding for three years; Mrs. Truax, who sees angels; and Irving Shiffman, the baker, who was trapped in the rubble of a fallen building for 10 days. When Leonard falls in love with the waitress at Edna's Cafe, he learns that strange logic of the spiritual world, which has nothing to do with money or power. As Mrs. Truax announces, "Isn't a single one of us safe from mystery!""--Cover.

Download or read book Tabloid Tales written by Colin Sparks and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2000-03-22 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coverage of the Clinton-Lewinsky saga followed in a long trail of media exposures of the more personal details of the lives of public figures. Many commentators have seen stories like this, and TV shows like Jerry Springer's, as evidence of a decline in the standards of the mass media. This increasing interest in private lives and the falling off of coverage of serious news is often described as Otabloidization.O The essays in this book are the first serious scholarly studies of what is going on and what its implications are. Reality, it turns out, is much more complex than some of the laments suggest. As the contributors show, this is not just a U.S. problem but is repeated in country after country, and it is not certain that the media anywhere are getting more tabloid. What is more, there is no consensus about whether tabloidization is just Odumbing downO or whether it is a necessary tactic for the mass media to engage with new audiences who do not have the news habit. Tabloid Tales will be of interest to students and scholars in journalism, mass communication, political science, and cultural and media studies.

Download or read book Barcelona Tales written by Helen Constantine and published by City Tales. This book was released on 2019-05-09 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barcelona is one of the most visited cities in Europe, a multilingual capital of an autonomous region that longs to be independent of Spain. The city is famous for its painters, modernist architecture, style of football, and its history, but as Peter Bush reveals it has always been a major centre of literary talent and creativity. Barcelona Tales presents a selection of newly translated short stories by 14 writers, many of them Catalan. The stories explore the themes of migration and class conflict in a city renowned in world literature from the day rural innocents Don Quixote and Sancho Panza visited its streets at the beginning of the seventeenth-century, and witnessed the wonders of the printing press and the cruelties of slavery. Together, they open up the city in ironic, tragic, and lyrical ways, inviting readers to explore fictional lives and literary styles that reflect the dynamic, conflict-ridden character and history of this great European city.

Download or read book Tabloid Journalism in Africa written by Brian Chama and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-12 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a timely and important summary of tabloid journalism in Africa, which clearly shows how tabloids in the African context play a unique role in the democratization process. Prior to this book, very little was known about how tabloid journalists operate in Africa. The book first explores the global practice of journalism and then focuses on tabloid journalism – finally situating the discussion within the African context. As well as concentrating on how tabloid journalism can be seen as part of the broader neo-liberal thinking in Africa, in which democracy and freedom of expression is promoted, it also looks at how tabloid journalism practice has been met with resistance from the alliance of forces. Chama draws on examples from across the continent looking at success stories and struggles within the sometime infotainment genre. Tabloid Journalism in Africa concludes that even though challenges exist, there is a strong case to suggest that the practice of tabloid journalism is being readily accepted by many people as part of the unique voices of democracy – even those which might be shocking yet true.
