Full Description
Insights on Broadcast Journalism offers a comprehensive, research-focused introduction to the contemporary issues facing broadcast journalism.
Drawing together the work of internationally acclaimed writers, distinguished academics and early career researchers, the book considers the impact of social/digital media and A.I.; engages with both mainstream and 'alternative' outlets; and considers ethical issues. A broad international focus is applied to some of the most critical issues currently facing broadcast journalism: the problems associated with objectivity, democratically engaged journalism, propaganda and the ties linking the industry to the state and dominant corporate interests.
This impactful volume will appeal to scholars and students of broadcast journalism as well as journalism studies more broadly, journalism history, media and communication.
