Download or read book The American Newsroom written by Will Mari and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2021-07-09 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the American newsroom is that of modern American journalism. In this holistic history, Will Mari tells that story from the 1920s through the 1960s, a time of great change and controversy in the field, one in which journalism was produced in “news factories” by news workers with dozens of different roles, and not just once a day, but hourly, using the latest technology and setting the stage for the emergence later in the century of the information economy. During this time, the newsroom was more than a physical place—it symbolically represented all that was good and bad in journalism, from the shift from blue- to white-collar work to the flexing of journalism’s power as a watchdog on government and an advocate for social reform. Told from an empathetic, omnivorous, ground-up point of view, The American Newsroom: A History, 1920–1960 uses memoirs, trade journals, textbooks, and archival material to show how the newsroom expanded our ideas of what journalism could and should be.

Book excerpt: Journalism: A Guide to the Reference Literature is a critically annotated bibliographic guide to print and electronic sources in print and broadcast journalism. The first edition was published in 1990; the second in 1997. It has been described as one of the critical reference sources in journalism today, and it is a key bibliographic guide to the literature. Choice magazine called it a benchmark publication for which there are no comparable sources. The format is similar to the second edition. What makes this edition significantly different is the separation of Commercial Databases and Internet Resources. Commercial Databases includes standard fee-based resources. The new chapter on Internet sources features Web-based resources not included in the commercial databases chapter as well as portals, other online files, listservs, newsgroups, and Web logs/blogs. All chapters have been revised, and there are significant revisions in Directories, Yearbooks, and Collections; Miscellaneous Sources; Core Periodicals; Societies and Associations; and Research Centers and Archives.

Download or read book Handbook of Research on the Political Economy of Communications and Media written by Karlidag, Serpil and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-03-20 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The political economy deals with the structure of production and the social relations of people in production. With its focus on structures and practices, the political economy also analyzes the contradictions of capitalism and suggests resistance and intervention strategies using methods from history, economics, sociology, and political science. The dominant commercial media in capitalism operates both as a product of economic and political structure and as an industrial institution with economic and political functions. Current Theories and Practice in the Political Economy of Communications and Media is a collection of innovative research on new approaches in the political economy of communication in the process of globalization. While highlighting topics including consumer behavior, news production, and public relations, this book is ideally designed for newscasters, broadcasters, journalists, marketers, advertisers, production managers, researchers, industry professionals, academics, and students seeking to extend the border of standard political economy of communication studies into relatively undiscovered areas.
Download or read book Indian Country written by Victoria L. LaPoe and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Storytelling has always been an important part of Native culture. Stories play a part in everyday Native life—they are often oral and rich in detail and language and serve as a form of recording history. Digital media now allow for the extension of this storytelling. This necessary text evaluates how digital media are changing the rich cultural act of storytelling within Native communities, with a specific focus on Native newsroom norms and routines. The authors argue that the non-Native press often leave consumers with a stereotypical view of American Indians, and aim to give a more authentic representation to Native journalism. With interviews from more than forty Native journalists around the country, this book is essential to understanding how digital media possibly advances the distribution of storytelling within the American Indian community.

Sandstrom’s The Violence Beat was “an impressive debut.”* Here the national bestselling author of the Chocoholic Mystery series brings back crime reporter Nell Matthews in a novel about a crimesolver’s secret past—and a killer’s hidden motive… Crime reporter Nell Matthews doesn’t have to go far for a gripping lead story.

Download or read book Frankie s Place written by Jim Sterba and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A joy to read—a portrait of a place, a way of life, and a marriage by a reporter who turns out to be the world’s last extant romantic.” —Joan Didion In this Tracy-Hepburn romance, a sophisticated New York intellectual is charmed by a down-to-earth newspaperman. Frankie’s Place is the tale of a summer cottage and the story that unfolds under its roof. Jim Sterba is the down-to-earth newspaperman who charms the New York sophisticate, Frances FitzGerald, after several visits to her writer’s retreat on the coast in Maine. Frankie’s place is a secluded little house out of harm’s way and the clamor of the modern world. Icy plunges into the Somes Sound christen their island mornings; then there is a long period of dutiful writing followed, in the late afternoon, by rigorous mountain walks, forays for wild mushrooms, and sailing. In the evenings Jim and Frankie prepare simple island meals as they talk about everything from the stories or books they’re working on to the bigger issue of Jim’s reunion with his long-lost father. Although they couldn’t have had more disparate childhoods—Jim grew up on a struggling Michigan farm while Frankie lived in a Manhattan town house and an English country estate—their shared summer rituals have them falling in love before our eyes. “A highly entertaining tale of love, family, and place . . . It took me places I hadn’t expected to go. I loved it.” —Tom Brokaw

Download or read book The African Journalist written by Keith Nalumango and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when you stumble upon evidence that implicates fellow executives in corrupt practices, and in your quest to fight the vice, you face the obstacles of ethnicity and trade unionism, backed by bad governance from the highest political office in the land? Alfred and Lewis are senior executives at an African broadcasting company who produce evidence against corrupt fellow executives, but most of whom belong to the state President's ethnic group. In the silent war that ensues, the President, First Lady, Vice President, some Cabinet Ministers and Backbenchers, the Intelligence Service, the company's Board of Directors, its nonchalant CEO and some of the company's clients side with the villain, Spade, the VP of Operations and famous TV personality. Unionized workers go on a pro-Spade strike. Undaunted, Alfred and Lewis threaten to spill the beans. So, Spade resigns his job, but only after being promised a diplomatic appointment. When Alfred succeeds Spade as VP of Operations, he strives to clean the slate. But without the CEO's support, and in an environment where some company employees are on State House payroll, will Alfred succumb to the demands of ruling party politicians for the control of the newsroom diary? Will the corruption ever stop? Will Lewis's contract of service be renewed? Tipped about a danger to his life, Alfred and family must leave for the US. From the President's office to the boardroom and the courts, from TV studios to the cemeteries, the scenic beauty of Cape Town and the wilderness of Kenya, The African Journalist tells the tale of the African journalist today. Although a work of fiction, the story is inspired by true events. It's the story of Africa's perennial ethnicity problem, as witnessed recently, on an explosive scale, in Rwanda, Kenya and South Africa.

Download or read book Hybrid Investigative Journalism written by Maria Konow-Lund and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-23 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book is a rare example of the ethnographic study of investigative journalism. This book explores entrepreneurial attempts to combine traditional investigative journalism with alternative ways of organising this work. It transcends watershed investigative projects in favour of the ways in which new actors (citizens, technologists, bloggers and local reporters, among others) join experienced investigative journalists in experiments with the practices of watchdog journalism in the digital era. Cases include Bristol Cable, Bureau Local and the Korea Center for Investigative Journalism, as well as Forbidden Stories. The book also includes two chapters on the impact of COVID-19 upon the development of cross-disciplinary work in a traditional newsroom and in the larger media ecosystems of both Norway and China. This is a timely book for journalism students, scholars and investigative reporters, who share a passion for this form of journalism.
