The Conversation of Journalism: Communication, Community, and News


Add your own review!

Overview

Arguing in the first book-length exploration of a conversational and dialogic model for journalism that accurately reporting the news is a surprisingly limiting if not disabling mission, the authors draw optimistically on past strengths of the media, especially print journalism, to reform and redefine a more ecumenical, constructive, participative, and democratically responsive role for journalism's institutional future. The book's scope is wide, and it includes many current trends: minority voices, contextualizing the news, providing interactive community forums, reconciling informational and entertainment functions, creating public opinion, and understanding the nature of bias.

Reviews

?The authors of this tasty little volume have set for themselves the difficult task of trying to articulate the role and potential of a form of journalism they call 'conversational journalism.' All told they have made a useful contribution....It deserves to be critically read by both journalism students and practicing professionals.?-Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly
