Produktbeschreibung

If journalists have power in the constructing of public discourses, how are they taught to use this power? "Making Journalists" examines journalism practices and professionalism in countries as varied as China, Cameroon, India and Italy, as well as the US and the UK. The contributors offer insights into models of journalism as they are taught and learnt across the globe. They look at what journalism is in different societies, the contradictions between national and professional cultures, how education "makes" the journalist and thus the news and what the ethical implications of these processes are. They offer a valuable corrective to simplistic assumptions about globalization of the media. When news reporting can lead to decisions on whether or not to go to war, we are all affected by the power of journalists and how they mediate our world.
