He discusses how and why journalism first emerged in the United States, and why journalism everywhere shares a family resemblance but is nowhere practised in precisely the same way. He goes on to explain why journalists have such difficulty talking about the business aspects of their profession, and explores the boundaries of the field�s collective imagination. Ryfe looks at the nature of change in journalism, providing sketches of its possible futures. Ultimately, he argues that the public is a keyword for journalism because it is impossible to understand the practice without it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  This rich and insightful guide will prove indispensable for anyone interested in understanding the practice of journalism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eFigures and Tables vii \u003cp\u003ePreface viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction1 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Tradition 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA New Approach 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlan of the Book 22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Theory 22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublics 30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJournalism 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJournalism and the Public 40\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 Emergence 47\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEarly Cases 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Development of American Field 59\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Field of French Journalism 67\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Form of News 70\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion 73\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 Outside the West 75\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHistory 76\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMarkets 83\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Chinese Field of Journalism 87\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInvestigative Journalism 93\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion 101\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 The Journalistic Imagination 103\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNormative Accounts 106\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJournalists Should Tell the Truth 108\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJournalists Should Build Community 112\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJournalists Should Foster Deliberative Conversation 118\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat Should Journalists Do? 125\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 Journalism and Change 131\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Recap 132\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMapping Change 137\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTime and Change 145\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePersistence 149\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion 156\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Moving Forward 158\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat We Know 159\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat We Do Not Know 163\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 174\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 199\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Society \u0026amp; culture: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Society \u0026amp; culture: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Society%20\u0026amp;%20culture:%20general%20%5BJF%5D%22\"\u003eJF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407334306072,"sku":"9780745671611","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745671611.jpg?v=1784162864","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/journalism-and-the-public-paperback-softback-9780745671611","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
