商品簡介
Bringing together contributing authors across six continents, this volume addresses critical questions around conceptualization, theorization, and ethics related to media and journalism research and practice along borders and around the Majority World. In the twenty-first century, notions of borders, globalization/deglobalization, and transnationalism would not be possible without media and journalists/journalism and the research that centers them. Media, large and small, through the work of journalists, yet also through the activities of other types of media producers, such as filmmakers, social media influencers, activists, and artists, contribute to the ways in which we understand or sometimes misunderstand the people and places around us and those in distant spaces and environments. The chapters map the spaces in which media and journalism is being redefined, reimagined, and reinvented around the world, and point to lessons learned as well as possibilities for ongoing collaboration. Authors reflect critically on how, by whom, and for whom, news media are created as well as their impacts locally, regionally, nationally, globally, and along various types of borders including geopolitical, cultural, and ideological. This book is an essential companion for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, scholars, journalists, and general audience members who are interested in deepening their understanding of the complex media ecosystems in regions across the world.
