Journalism and Emotion

By: Ingram, Elizabeth

Journalism is the practice of gathering, assessing, creating, and presenting news and information. It involves the systematic process of researching, writing, and reporting on current events, trends, issues, and people, typically for dissemination through various media channels such as newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and digital platforms. Journalists aim to provide the public with accurate, timely, and relevant information, often adhering to ethical standards and principles such as truthfulness, fairness, and objectivity. Journalism and emotion are inextricably linked, shaping the way news is reported and consumed. Emotions play a crucial role in storytelling, making complex events relatable and engaging. Journalists often use emotional narratives to capture the audience's attention and evoke empathy, helping readers and viewers connect with stories on a personal level. This approach can humanize abstract issues, highlighting the real-world impact of policies, conflicts, and social issues. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to journalism and emotions. The book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of journalism and the role emotions play in it. This book is an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further.
