Book Synopsis Reporting News about Religion by : Judith M. Buddenbaum
Download or read book Reporting News about Religion written by Judith M. Buddenbaum and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1998-03-17 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion. It's the greatest story never told -- or at least rarely told well. Though second only to education in the public's ranking of importance, religion reporting tends to turn up last in audience satisfaction. Reporting News About Religion takes aim at all the special challenges and difficulties that make this so. Geared to print and broadcast journalists, the book provides substantive information about religion and practical advice about covering religion stories thoroughly and sensitively. Buddenbaum divides her overview into three parts: the background information journalists need in order to understand religion and its role in American culture; the place of religion in the media, audience interests, and the implications of various practices concerning the definition, organization, and assignment of religion news; and reporting and writing techniques such as sourcing, story framing, and language use that can be especially problematic in the value-laden realm of religion reporting. Firmly grounded in the social sciences and in an appreciation of the protection given to all religions by the First Amendment, this book avoids the pitfalls and biases of most accounts of religion news. It features an annotated list of readings that will further inform students and journalists, as well as specific sources for information about a broad range of religions and religious organizations.
Book Synopsis Coloring the News by : William McGowan
Download or read book Coloring the News written by William McGowan and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the provocative argument that drives William McGowan's Coloring the News, a brave, searching work that examines journalism's most controversial issue. McGowan presents a fascinating insider's analysis of how a well-intentioned attempt to accommodate minorities and minority viewpoints has been overtaken by political correctness, which determines what stories get reported in the "elite" media and how. Along the way he dissects how the press has "mistold" key stories including California's Proposition 209 vote, the allegedly "racist" burnings of black churches in the South, the military's ongoing problems with the integration of women and gays, and the consequences of a chaotic immigration policy."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis The View from Somewhere by : Lewis Raven Wallace
Download or read book The View from Somewhere written by Lewis Raven Wallace and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A look at the history of the idea of the objective journalist and how this very ideal can often be used to undercut itself. In The View from Somewhere, Lewis Raven Wallace dives deep into the history of “objectivity” in journalism and how its been used to gatekeep and silence marginalized writers as far back as Ida B. Wells. At its core, this is a book about fierce journalists who have pursued truth and transparency and sometimes been punished for it—not just by tyrannical governments but by journalistic institutions themselves. He highlights the stories of journalists who question “objectivity” with sensitivity and passion: Desmond Cole of the Toronto Star; New York Times reporter Linda Greenhouse; Pulitzer Prize-winner Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah; Peabody-winning podcaster John Biewen; Guardian correspondent Gary Younge; former Buzzfeed reporter Meredith Talusan; and many others. Wallace also shares his own experiences as a midwestern transgender journalist and activist who was fired from his job as a national reporter for public radio for speaking out against “objectivity” in coverage of Trump and white supremacy. With insightful steps through history, Wallace stresses that journalists have never been mere passive observers. Using historical and contemporary examples—from lynching in the nineteenth century to transgender issues in the twenty-first—Wallace offers a definitive critique of “objectivity” as a catchall for accurate journalism. He calls for the dismissal of this damaging mythology in order to confront the realities of institutional power, racism, and other forms of oppression and exploitation in the news industry. The View from Somewhere is a compelling rallying cry against journalist neutrality and for the validity of news told from distinctly subjective voices.

Book Synopsis Advanced Reporting by : Miles Maguire
Download or read book Advanced Reporting written by Miles Maguire and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-25 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: News gathering is a large, complicated and often messy task that has traditionally been viewed by journalists as irretrievably idiosyncratic, best learned through trial and error. Advanced Reporting takes the opposite approach, focusing on reporting as a process of triangulation based on three essential activities: analyzing documents, making observations and conducting interviews. In this readable book, veteran journalism professor Miles Maguire shows how the best reporters use these three tools in a way that allows them to cross-check and authenticate facts, to reduce or eliminate unsupportable allegations and to take readers and viewers to a deeper level of insight and understanding. This book will help to prepare students for a profession marked by increasing complexity and competition. To succeed in this environment, journalists must learn to make the most of digital media to intensify the impact of their work. At the same time, reporters must contend with a host of sophisticated public relations techniques while engaging with news audiences that no longer just consume journalism, but also collaborate in its creation. Discussion questions and exercises help students put theory into practice.
