As Democracy Goes, So Does Journalism
As Democracy Goes, So Does Journalism: Evolution of Journalism in Liberal, Deliberative, and Participatory Democracy explores the symbiotic relationship between democracy and journalism in an engaging historical narrative. From a liberal to a deliberative and to a participatory model, theories and practices of democracy are constantly looking for better governance. How is journalism evolving to match the vibrant changes in its democratic counterpart? This book suggests that the dominant trustee model of journalism that flourished in liberal democracy has waned; the civic-minded public journalism in deliberative democracy has had ups and downs; and the free-wheeling citizen journalism in participatory democracy is now under the spotlight, whether for its brilliance or ill repute. This book attempts to answer the vital questions facing journalism today, namely its identities, functions, and relationship to democracy and the good life. Scholars and students of journalism as well as the public interested in the past, present, and future of journalism will find this book valuable.
Digital Media, Political Polarization and Challenges to Democracy
This book assesses the interplay between social media, political polarization, and civic engagement, focusing on countries with differing media environments, cultural specifics, and degrees of democratization. Taken from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and based on innovative theoretical interventions and empirically grounded research, the contributions to this volume share a common aspiration to understand the democratic character of the new, and thus far largely unknown, media regime. Such a regime has the potential to both enhance and undermine democracy, in a time where the vulnerability of democracy is more obvious than ever before. Featuring research from the USA, Western Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia, this book will be of interest to those studying recent political events in these regions, as well as to those scholars of media studies whose research focuses on the inter-relation of politics, communication and the media. This book was originally published as a special issue of Information, Communication & Society.
Zwischen Gegebenem und Möglichem
Der Anspruch, Kommunikationswissenschaft als kritische Gesellschaftsanalyse zu betreiben, verbindet die Beiträge des Bandes in ihrer Auseinandersetzung mit Strukturen und Akteur_innen journalistischer Praxis. Statt sich mit dem Gegebenen abzufinden, werden angebliche Gewissheiten, Kategorisierungen und Dualismen hinterfragt. Das ermöglicht andere Perspektiven auf Medien und Öffentlichkeit, Journalismus, Geschlechter oder soziale Ungleichheit und zielt darauf ab, Handlungsspielräume zwischen Gegebenem und Möglichem sichtbar werden zu lassen.
