Alternative Journalism

The first book in the field to introduce students to the history, culture, theory and contemporary practice of alternative journalism.

This is intentional because the series is aimed both at students and their practice-based lecturers, who often come straight from industry and need time to adjust to the academic environment! [The series] achieves its aim to bridge the sometimes too evident dissonance between journalism theory and practice! They successfully situate discussions about journalism in social and historical contexts. We see the faces of individual journalists, the circumstances of news production, the relationship with owners, the battle between the public service and the profit nature of news, the relevance of journalism work. The detailed account of the conditions under which newspaper, radio and alternative journalism is produced and performed make the Journalism Studies: Key Texts series mandatory reading for both journalism students and their lecturers".
