Now in paperback for the first time, the Handbook is an academic adaptation of information contained in the Global Report on the Status of Women in News Media, a study commissioned by the International Women's Media Foundation. The book's editor was the principal investigator of the original study. This text draws together the most robust data from that original study, presenting it in 29 chapters on individual nations and three additional theoretical chapters. The book is the most expansive effort to date to consider women's standing in the journalism profession across the world. Contents organize nations in relation to their progress within newsrooms, with those most advanced in gender equality representing diversity in terms of region and national development. Contributing authors are, in most cases, the original researchers for their respective nations in the Global Report study.

This book argues that Britain is gripped by an endemic panic about the position of children in society – which frames them as, alternately, victims and threats. It argues that the press and primary definers, from politicians to the police, are key players in promoting this discourse.

Using a mix of intergenerational focus-groups and analysis of online newspaper discussion-threads, the book demonstrates that, far from being passive consumers of this agenda-setting 'juvenile panic' discourse, ordinary citizens (particularly parents) actively contribute to it – and, in so doing, sustain and reinforce it. A series of interviews with newspaper journalists illuminates the role news media play in fanning the flames of panic, by exposing the commercial drivers conspiring to promote dramatic narratives about children. The book concludes that today's juvenile panic – though far from the first to grip Britain – is a projection of the wide-scale breakdown of social trust between individuals in neoliberal societies.

Sir Philip Gibbs was one of the most widely read English journalists of the first half of the twentieth century. Prior to 1914 he reported on industrial unrest, Ireland, the suffragette movement, royal births, deaths and coronations, the sinking of the Titanic, and the Balkan War in 1912. This coverage of his writing offers a broad insight into British social and political developments, government and press relations, propaganda, and war reporting during the First World War.

As a war correspondent on the Western Front, his articles, which appeared on both sides of the Atlantic, did much to shape civilian attitudes during the First World War and its immediate aftermath. Many critics dismissed Gibbs' work as propaganda and his acceptance of a knighthood in 1921 as a reward. His writing in the post-war years covered the full range of inter-war European politics, the Second World War, and the Cold War.

Memòries on s'explica l’ampla projecció social de la seva trajectòria de periodista disconforme amb quasi tot: des de l’ofec d’una dictadura inacabable, fins a una democràcia imperfecta, inacabada o traïda.
L’autor hi narra l’expulsió política del diari Ausona, el "hay que desespinizar El Correo Catalán", les amenaces de mort, la censura d’articles, els fallits intents de compra. També hi explica questions personals i l’esperança que la seva tasca hagi aportat un gra de sorra significatiu a un periodisme més lliure i independent. També hi apareixen personalitats il·lustres amb les quals l’autor s’ha creuat
al llarg de la seva vida professional. Tot plegat, ofereix una crònica del nostre passat i del nostre present, escrita amb una prosa directa i sincera, on la ironia i el sarcasme es barregen amb escenes
d’impacte i consideracions transcendentals.

Manuel Vázquez Montalbán (Barcelona, 1939 – Bangkok, 2103) fue uno de los mayores renovadores de las letras españolas contemporáneas, referente inexcusable de la literatura española posterior a la Guerra Civil. Uno de los campos donde su influencia más se hizo notar fue en el del periodismo, desde el que escribió sobre los temas más diversos, siempre con una certera y lúcida visión de la realidad, no exenta de ironía y sentido del humor.

Esta antología en tres volúmenes rescata lo mejor de su periodismo, una vocación que no abandonaría hasta el final de su vida y en la que destacó como pocos, convirtiéndose en lectura obligatoria de los jóvenes periodistas, incluso de nuestros días.

Licenciado en Filosofía y Letras y en Periodismo, Vázquez Montalbán comenzó a colaborar en la prensa muy pronto, ya en 1960. Este primer volumen rescata sus trabajos periodísticos desde sus comienzos en 1960 en la prensa falangista (El Español y Solidaridad Nacional), hasta la etapa quizá más conocida, ya en los albores de la democracia, en Triunfo, donde coincidió con Eduardo Haro Tecglen y Fernando Savater, pasando por sus artículos en publicaciones como Siglo XX y Hogares Modernos, donde escribió tras su paso por prisión.

Con esta antología preparada por Francesc Salgado, se recupera toda una época reciente de España, contada al más puro estilo de su autor: a través del fútbol, la gastronomía o la literatura, pero también mediante perfiles y entrevistas con los personajes del momento, artículos de opinión o análisis de política internacional.

Few crimes provoke the collective fear, public outrage, and media fascination that child abductions do. Stories about missing children capture national headlines and dominate public discourses about crime and deviance, child safety, parenting, the American family, and gender and sexuality.
Snatched is the first book-length study to interrogate the predominant myths centered on gender and class that shaped mainstream U.S. news coverage of kidnappings in the 2100s. Through an exploration of hundreds of reports from newspapers, news magazines, television broadcasts, and web stories, Snatched critically analyzes how news narratives construct the phenomenon of child abductions, the young girls and boys who fall victim, the male perpetrators of these horrific crimes, and the adult victims of long-term abductions who were found years later. The book’s interdisciplinary nature, methodological rigor, and thorough investigation into some of the most riveting and revolting crimes of the last decade make Snatched a worthy, important, and timely contribution to the fields of media studies and girlhood studies.

Why are some countries more newsworthy than others? What are the similarities and differences in the scope of international news presented in different languages and cultures? How does international news affect our perception of the world? In this book, Elad Segev explores international news flow on the internet by addressing these key questions.
Segev provides a comparative analysis of the international scope of online newspapers, news portals, and news aggregators in different languages and cultures, using innovative web mining techniques and network analysis. This book explores the theory of news flow around the world, and analyses many of its dimensions such as the global standing of the United States, the Middle Eastern conflicts as seen around the world, and, the effect of financial news. In doing so, the book unveils new patterns, meanings and implications of international news on our perception of the world.
Following these insights, the author discusses the opportunities and challenges of studying international news flow online in the future, and how this field of research can be further developed theoretically and empirically.

The media are in crisis. Confronted by growing competition and sagging advertising revenue, news operations in print, on radio and TV, and even online are struggling to reinvent themselves. Many have gone under. For too many others, the answer has been to lay off reporters, join conglomerates, and lean more heavily on generic content. The result: in a world awash with information, news organizations provide citizens with less and less in-depth reporting and a narrowing range of viewpoints. If democracy requires an informed citizenry, this trend spells trouble.

Julia Cagé explains the economics and history of the media crisis in Europe and America, and she presents a bold solution. The answer, she says, is a new business model: a nonprofit media organization, midway between a foundation and a joint stock company. Cagé shows how this model would enable the media to operate independent of outside shareholders, advertisers, and government, relying instead on readers, employees, and innovative methods of financing, including crowdfunding.

Cagé’s prototype is designed to offer new ways to share and transmit power. It meets the challenges of the digital revolution and the realities of the twenty-first century, inspired by a central idea: that news, like education, is a public good. Saving the Media will be a key document in a debate whose stakes are nothing less crucial than the vitality of democracy.

How do we connect with one another? How do the media portray different cultures and beliefs? What messages are often omitted from media? How do we connect what we see in the worldwide media to the classroom? This book, divided into four parts, serves to answer many of these questions. In Part 1, readers are provided with a historical look at media literacy education while glimpsing the future of this educational movement. Part 2 curates voices from around the globe, from practitioners to researchers, who provide a look at issues that are of consequence in our worldwide society. Part 3 focuses on education through cases studies that give educational perspectives and assessment opportunities. The final section, «Take Action», offers the reader resources for growing global media literacy around the world. This timely resource provides a look at how media literacy education has become a global and interconnected dialogue brought about by the evolution of technology.

Image Brokers is an in-depth ethnography that reveals the labor and infrastructure behind news images and how they are circulated. Zeynep Devrim Gursel presents an intimate look at the ways image brokers – the people who manage the distribution or restriction of images – construct and culturally mediate the images they circulate. Through this framework, news images become commodities that impact how politics and culture are visualized in the world. Set against the backdrop of the War on Terror and based on fieldwork conducted at the photojournalism industry's centers of power in New York and Paris, Image Brokers explores the transition from analog to digital technologies and shows how new digital and social media platforms continue to change photojournalism and create ever-widening distribution networks. The book is a powerful investigation of the processes of decision-making amid the changing infrastructures of representation.
