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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis rich and insightful guide will prove indispensable for anyone interested in understanding the practice of journalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461102551276,"sku":"9780745671611","price":40.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780745671611-journalism-and-the-public.jpg?v=1774958166"},{"product_id":"can-journalism-survive-by-david-m-ryfe-9780745654287","title":"Can Journalism Survive?","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJournalists have failed to respond adequately to the challenge of the Internet, with far-reaching consequences for the future of journalism and democracy. This is the compelling argument set forth in this timely new text, drawing on the most extensive ethnographic fieldwork in American newsrooms since the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Ryfe argues that journalists are unable or unwilling to innovate for a variety of reasons: in part because habits are sticky and difficult to dislodge; in part because of their strategic calculation that the cost of change far exceeds its benefit; and in part because basic definitions of what journalism is, and what it is for, anchor journalism to tradition even when journalists prefer to change. The result is that journalism is unraveling as an integrated social field; it may never again be a separate and separable activity from the broader practice of producing news. One thing is certain: whatever happens next, it will have dramatic consequences for the role journalism plays in democratic society and perhaps will transform its basic meaning and purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCan Journalism Survive?\u003c\/em\u003e is essential and provocative reading for all concerned with the future of journalism and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470228668652,"sku":"9780745654287","price":42.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780745654287-can-journalism-survive.jpg?v=1775214202"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/david-m-ryfe.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
