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":"citizen-witnessing-by-stuart-allan-9780745651965","title":"Citizen Witnessing","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat role can the ordinary citizen perform in news reporting? This question goes to the heart of current debates about citizen journalism, one of the most challenging issues confronting the news media today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this timely and provocative book, Stuart Allan introduces the key concept of ‘citizen witnessing’ in order to rethink familiar assumptions underlying traditional distinctions between the ‘amateur’ and the ‘professional’ journalist. Particular attention is focused on the spontaneous actions of ordinary people—caught-up in crisis events transpiring around them—who feel compelled to participate in the making of news. In bearing witness to what they see, they engage in unique forms of journalistic activity, generating firsthand reportage—eyewitness accounts, video footage, digital photographs, Tweets, blog posts—frequently making a vital contribution to news coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on a wide range of examples to illustrate his argument, Allan considers citizen witnessing as a public service, showing how it can help to reinvigorate journalism’s responsibilities within democratic cultures. \u003cem\u003eCitizen Witnessing\u003c\/em\u003e is required reading for all students of journalism, digital media and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47462710837484,"sku":"9780745651965","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780745651965-citizen-witnessing.jpg?v=1775021732"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-key-concepts-in-journalism.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
