Product Description

Product Description

News Culture is an introduction to the forms, practices, institutions and audiences of journalism. It begins with a historical consideration of the rise of ‘objective' reporting in newspaper, radio and televisual journalism. It explores the way news is produced, its textual conventions as a genre of discourse, and its negotiation by the reader, listener or viewer as part of everyday life. The text also examines the cultural dynamics of sexism and racism as they shape different instances of news coverage.

Building on the success of the bestselling first edition, this new edition addresses the concerns of the new media age, featuring:

  • An expanded chapter on ‘Good Journalism is Popular Culture’ which engages with the key debates around tabloidization, infotainment and celebrity-driven journalism
  • A new chapter about online journalism and the Internet
  • Revisions throughout to take into account feedback from lecturers who have used the first edition.
This is a key text for undergraduate and postgraduate students in journalism, journalism studies, cultural and media studies, sociology and politics.

4.0 out of 5 stars Insightful debates into the 'construction' of the news., 19 Sep 2001
This review is from: News Culture (Issues in Cultural & Media Studies) (Paperback)
An excellent resource for media students. This book covers most aspects of the news, detailing the emergence of journalism, and constructively debates issues of 'truth' and 'objectivity' within the news medium. Also discussed are topics such as news values, news structures and frameworks, and issues of gender and race. Stuart Allan's insightful knowledge and views of 'news culture', ensures this text to be essential reading material for those studying in this field.
