Handbook of Journalism Theories

Based on a meta-theoretical discourse in the German-speaking world that began more than two decades ago and has continued to evolve, this book provides the world's most comprehensive and detailed insight into approaches that focus on the theoretical description and explanation of journalism-related issues. The Handbook provides a comprehensive guide to the foundations, trends, concepts and issues in journalism theory and describes theoretical approaches to the interrelationships of journalism with other fields such as public relations, politics, religion, culture or sport. The Handbook contains more than 60 articles on all major aspects of journalism theory. Each chapter provides a concise introduction to a specific area, offering guidance for both lecturers and students.
