Tabloid Century The Popular Press in Britain, 1896 to the present

opular newspapers played a vital role in shaping British politics, society and culture in the twentieth century . This book provides a concise and accessible historical overview of the rise of the tabloid format and examines how the national press reported the major stories of the period, from World Wars and general elections to sex scandals and celebrity gossip . It considers the appeal and influence of the most successful titles, such as the Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror, the Daily Express and the Sun, and explores the emergence of the key elements of the modern popular newspaper, such as editorial campaigns, women’s pages, advice columns, and pin-ups . Using a wealth of examples from across the century, the authors explain how tabloids provided an important forum for the discussion of social identities such as class, gender, sexuality and ethnicity, and how they scrutinised public figures with increasing intensity . In the wake of recent controversies about tabloid practices, this timely book provides the historical context to enable a proper assessment of how the popular press helped to define twentieth-century Britain . Oxford, 2015 . VIII, 258 pp . pb . • ISBN 978-1-906165-32-1 CHF 30 .– / €D 26 .80 / €A 27 .50 / € 25 .– / £ 20 .– / US-$ 32 .95 eBook (SUL) • ISBN 978-3-0353-0700-9 CHF 31 .60 / €D 29 .75 / €A 30 .– / € 25 .– / £ 20 .– / US-$ 32 .95

«Adrian Bingham and Martin Conboy combine their customary analytical rigor with an engaging style in order to produce the first wide-ranging study of the contents of masscirculation newspapers from Northcliffe to Murdoch. Authoritative and accessible, ‘Tabloid Century’ is an ideal guide for anyone wanting to learn about the history of the twentieth-century popular press.» (Mark Hampton, Lingnan University, author of Visions of the Press in Britain, 1850–1950 (2004), co-editor of Media History)

La médiatisation de l’évaluation Evaluation in the Media

omment l’espace médiatique (presse, télé, web) façonne-t-il la définition et l’attribution de valeurs pour des entités de toutes sortes ? Au moment où abondent les instruments d’évaluation fondés sur la quantification – des indicateurs aux classements, des hit-parades aux baromètres, des mégadonnées au like, des commentaires aux notes – et que concours, prix ou récompenses font florès, ce livre entend éclairer les logiques, les processus et les discours médiatiques à l’œuvre dans la production, la circulation et la publicisation de l’évaluation . Bern, 2015 . 330 p . br . • ISBN 9783-0343-1622-4 CHF 95 .– / €D 84 .50 / €A 86 .90 / € 79 .– / £ 63 .– / US-$ 102 .95 eBook (SUL) • ISBN 978-3-0352-0305-9 CHF 100 .10 / €D 94 .01 / €A 94 .80 / € 79 .– / £ 63 .– / US-$ 102 .95

ow does the media space (press, television, web) shape the definition and assignment of values to various entities? While evaluative tools based on quantification proliferate – from indicators to rankings, from charts to barometers, from big data to like, from comments to notes – and contests, prizes or awards are flourishing, this book aims to shed light on the media logics, processes and discourses at work in the production, circulation and publicization of evaluation .

Jennifer L. Bevan

The Communication of Jealousy «The Communication of Jealousy» by Jennifer Bevan has won the International Association for Relationship Research (IARR) Award. This book has won the 2014 National Communication Association’s Diamond Anniversary Book Award. This book received the 2014 Gerald R. Miller Outstanding Book Award from the «Interpersonal Communication Division of the National Communication Association» and the «National Communication Association – Communication and Social Cognition Division – 2013 Distinguished Book Award»

nformed by a wide variety of academic disciplines and offering a unique interpersonal communication approach to the study of jealousy, The Communication of Jealousy examines, integrates, and informs research on jealousy experience and expression . The book’s integration and interpretation of academic jealousy research is through a jealousy expression lens, meaning that the focus will be particularly, but not exclusively, on jealousy research that includes a behavioral or communicative component that is drawn from a number of academic disciplines as diverse as communication, social and clinical psychology, sociology, criminology, forensic anthropology, and the biological sciences . To date, no academic book has considered jealousy primarily from an interpersonal communication perspective; in doing so, this book effectively connects jealousy research from related academic disciplines and develops a theory that advances the state of jealousy expression research . «Bevan’s work heralds a maturing of jealousy research within the communication discipline. It provides the most up-to-date, comprehensive overview available of the jealousy and jealousy expression literatures. More than simply summarizing previous research, Bevan makes an original contribution to the study of jealousy with her communication-focused thesis. […] I anticipate the book will take its place alongside older seminal works […] as a ‘must-read’ on the topic of jealousy.» (Timothy Ryan Worley, Southern Communication Journal 80.1, 2015)

amily Communication in the Age of Digital and Social Media is an innovative collection of contemporary data-driven research and theorizing about how digital and social media are affecting and changing nearly every aspect of family interaction over the lifespan . The research and thinking featured in the book reflects the intense growth of interest in families in the digital age . Chapters explore communication among couples, families, parents, adolescents, and emerging adults as their realities are created, impacted, changed, structured, improved, influenced and/or inhibited by cell phones, smartphones, personal desktop and laptop computers, MP3 players, e-tablets, e-readers, email, Facebook, photo sharing, Skype, Twitter, SnapChat, blogs, Instagram, and other emerging technologies . Each chapter significantly advances thinking about how digital media have become deeply embedded in the lives of families and couples, as well as how they are affecting the very ways we as twenty-first-century communicators see ourselves and, by extension, conceive of and behave in our most intimate and longest-lasting relationships .

his book provides an important discussion of the conceptual and practical interconnections between international public relations and public diplomacy . Written by some of the leading thinkers in both disciplines, the volume provides key lessons regarding global relationship-building and stakeholder engagement . Written from a government, corporate, and not-for-profit perspective, the book deals with such topics as mediated public diplomacy and information subsidies, international broadcasting, nationbranding, diaspora relationships, international exchanges, and soft power . A variety of international conceptual pieces and real-life case studies present an in-depth analysis of the strategic application of public relations tactics in governmental and organizational global relationship management efforts . The book is recommended for students, scholars, and practitioners in the fields of international public relations, public diplomacy, and international relations . «In this increasingly interconnected world, dialogue between and among nations is critically important. To understand, inform, and engage one another enables a greater appreciation of those policies and values on which a nation stands. Public diplomacy is at the heart of how and why our government, any government, assumes responsibility for its actions. This publication offers evidence of how public diplomacy should be exercised.» (Bill Smullen, National Security Director, The Maxwell School, Syracuse University)

Understanding New Media Extending Marshall McLuhan Second Edition

New York, 2016 . XVIII, 470 pp .

arshall McLuhan made many predictions in his seminal 1964 publication, Understanding Media: Extensions of Man . Among them were his predictions that the Internet would become a «global village,» making us more interconnected than television; the closing of the gap between consumers and producers; the elimination of space and time as barriers to communication; and the melting of national borders . He is also famously remembered for coining the expression «the medium is the message .» These predictions form the genesis of this updated volume by Robert K . Logan, a friend and colleague who worked with McLuhan . In this second edition of Understanding New Media Logan expertly updates McLuhan’s Understanding Media to analyze the «new media» McLuhan foreshadowed and yet was never able to analyze or experience . The book is designed to reach a new generation of readers as well as appealing to scholars and students who are familiar with Understanding Media.

ome with Hip Hop Feminism brings together popular culture and the everyday experiences of black women from the hip hop generation to highlight the epiphanic moments when the imagined and real body converge or collide . To date, there are no books devoted exclusively to black women that integrate performance auto/ethnography and media studies from a hip hop feminist perspective . This book serves as a three-sided intervention against a textually dominated feminist media studies, a white-centered feminist third wave theory, and a masculinist hip hop cultural project . Aisha S . Durham not only reclaims her voice in these three spaces, she also rewrites her hip hop history by returning to the intellectual, cultural, and physical places she calls home . The book will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students interested in media and cultural studies, race and ethnic studies, and gender and sexuality studies . «‘Home with Hip Hop Feminism’ is the epitome of artistic and intellectual excellence, Aisha S. Durham writes with deep generosity, beautiful care, and an abiding love for black women whose experiences and visions of home include a wide range of expressions and relationships. This is a hip hop feminism that accounts for media, culture, and performance with the poetic perfection of a homegrown writer who remembers our mothers, icons, and homegirls.» (Ruth Nicole Brown author of Black Girlhood Celebration: Toward a Hip-Hop Feminist Pedagogy)

The Mediated Youth Reader

ince the first book was signed almost ten years ago, the Mediated Youth series has published nearly two dozen volumes, with more in process or production . This milestone provides the perfect opportunity to reflect on how the series has evolved, how it has contributed to the field, and in which direction(s) it is moving . The chapters reprinted in this volume serve not only as a retrospective collection of scholarship published in Peter Lang’s Mediated Youth book series, but also as a roadmap to the diversity of scholarship characterizing the field of youth media studies during these years .

It will surely prove vital for researchers and illuminating for students.» (Sonia Livingstone, Global Kids Online, London School of Economics) «The chapters in the Mediated Youth Reader challenge our understandings of identity formation, global variations in how youth of different cultures live and interact with popular culture, and, especially, girls’ diverse experiences with technology. These selections show the range of powerful ideas and interesting methodologies for studying youth cultures around the world… it is a fascinating volume.» (Ellen Wartella, Al-Thani Professor of Communication and Director, Center on Media and Human Development, Northwestern University)

lobal News explores how media representation is conceived and enacted in a world of diversity and transborder flows . Among the ‘new media’ crowding the global mediascape are influential television outlets that promise viewers alternative vantage points to those of established Western broadcasters . The different worlds depicted by Al Jazeera English and Russia Today are compared with those of CNN International and BBC World . At a time when media organizations are slashing their budgets for international reporting, these channels represent a spectrum of financing solutions and relations to political power, being variously privately-, publicly-, or state-owned, backed by corporations, democratic states, authoritarian regimes, and ruling dynasties . Despite their differences, however, they have much in common . Their journalists espouse the universal values of professionalism and objectivity and speak to their global audiences in English . This book explores the different theoretical worlds of global media studies, takes a rare look at content, has a comparative perspective, and moves beyond the conflict frame that has dominated much of the literature in the field . «Alexa Robertson guides us through four major television news channels and shows us that their offerings differ in important ways. Imperial heritage lingers here, business considerations matter there – and the style of Russia Today will remind you of Fox News! Through an impressive combination of methods, she demonstrates both quantitative differences in coverage and qualitative differences in reporting genres. Read ‘Global News’, and you will be a more critically skilled consumer of the output of these channels ever after!» (Ulf Hannerz, Professor Emeritus, Stockholm University)

It is a primer for beginners and an invaluable resource for those deeply committed to understanding the new digital culture . The award-winning first edition (2005) has been comprehensively updated to incorporate new technologies and contemporary theories about them . Slack and Wise untangle and expose cultural assumptions that underlie our thinking about technology, stories so deeply held we often don’t recognize their influence . The book considers the perceived inevitability of technological progress, the role of control and convenience, and the very sense of what technology is . It considers resistance to dominant stories by Luddites, the Unabomber, and the alternative technology movement . Most important, it builds an alternative, cultural studies approach for engaging technological culture, one that considers politics, economics, space, time, identity, and change . After all, what we think and what we do make a difference .

ramaturgie hat eine lange Tradition, auch im Bereich von Film- und Fernsehen . Kenntnisse der Dramaturgie ermöglichen es, einem Werk zu seiner bestmöglichen Entfaltung zu verhelfen, ohne diesem standardisierte Grenzen einer Formatvorlage aufzuerlegen . Ebenso kann Dramaturgie die Analyse von Werken unterstützen, um künstlerische Prozesse und die Qualitäten eines Werkes erkennen und verstehen zu können . In diesem Buch wird ein Überblick über dramaturgische Grundlagen gegeben . Es werden dramaturgische Traditionen und Modelle aus der Praxiserfahrung heraus und für diese anwendbar diskutiert . Es wendet sich an Medienschaffende und Medienwissenschaftler ebenso wie an Filminteressierte . «Kerstin Stutterheim, Professorin für AV-Mediendramaturgie und -Ästhetik an der Filmuniversität Konrad Wolf in Potsdam-Babelsberg, hat ein Handbuch publiziert, das man wohl für einige Zeit als Standardwerk bezeichnen kann.» (Hans Helmut Prinzler, Stiftung Deutsche Kinemathek, www.hhprinzler.de)

his book considers British television from the point of view of executive producers: the people who employ the workforce and are in charge of making all television series . The focus of the book is twenty-one separate genres, at least seven of which are in significant decline – namely current affairs, education, natural history, science, arts, children’s and religion . Some other public service genres – such as documentary, history and travel – are in good health . The most commercially successful genres include formatted factual entertainment series, such as cooking, homes, quiz/game, reality and sport . The author completed 150 interviews not only with executive producers but with BBC and ITV channel controllers and top genre commissioners . Playing a supporting role are another 200 interviews, which were the basis of the author’s 1993 book, Television Producers . Since 1990, and especially since 2008, British television production has faced financial challenges . Meanwhile, BSkyB, Virgin Media and Channel Five are American controlled, and most of the larger London ‘independent’ production companies are now American or EuroAmerican owned and operated . Public service broadcasting in general, and BBC television in particular, are threatened with probable further decline . This book offers new insights into the state of British television through the eyes of those working on the inside .

Media and Cosmopolitanism

his collection of essays examines the relationship between the media and cosmopolitanism in an increasingly fragmented and globalizing world . This relationship is presented from multiple perspectives and the essays cover, amongst other themes, cosmopolitanization in everyday life, the mediation of suffering, trauma studies, and researching cosmopolitanism from a non-Western perspective . Some of the essays explore existing research and theory about cosmopolitanism and apply it to specific case studies; others attempt to extend this theoretical framework and engage in a dialogue with the broader disciplines of media and cultural studies . Overall, this variety of approaches generates valuable insights into the central issue of the book: the role played by the media, in its various forms, in either encouraging or discouraging cosmopolitanist identifications among its audiences .

Monstrosity, Performance, and Race in Contemporary Culture

Traversée

In a society that increasingly touts post-racial and post-feminist discourses, the trope of monstrosity becomes a way to critically examine contemporary meanings around race, class, gender, sexuality, and ability . Focusing on ways in which historically marginalized groups appropriate monstrosity as a means of resistance, as well as on how we can understand oppression and privilege through monstrosity, this book offers another way to conceptualize the politics of representation . Through critical analyses of experiences of women of color in the academy, the media framing of alleged Aurora shooter James Holmes, the use of monstrosity in unpublished work from the Gloria Anzaldúa archives, postfeminist discourses in American Mary and The Lords of Salem, and Kanye West’s strategic employment of ideologies of monstrosity, this book offers new ways to think about Otherness in this contemporary moment .

Essai sur la communication Le statut scientifique de la communication reste vague et de nombreuses disciplines lui consacrent leurs théories et méthodologies . Afin d’approcher ce problème contemporain, ce livre présente la théorie communicationnelle de l’écologie du sens et une proposition méthodologique ancrée, à la fois, dans la recherche-action et la sémiotique constructiviste-critique . Au fil du texte, l’auteur navigue au cœur de la recherche contemporaine entre les écueils de la radicalisation épistémologique, tissant les contributions de Jean Piaget, Jean-Blaise Grize et Jürgen Habermas avec les siennes en quête d’un consensus épistémologique éthique et équilibré . L’essai met en valeur la transdisciplinarité de la communication, essayant de démontrer sa pertinence dans la construction critique des connaissances dans toutes les disciplines scientifiques, des mathématiques aux sciences sociales .

Advances in Intergroup Communication

Health Communication Research Measures

Organizational Listening

Advances in Intergroup Communication is a timely contribution to the field . It reflects developments in older, more established intergroup settings (e .g ., gender, sexual orientation, organizations) whilst introducing newer studies such as the military and political parties . It also pays attention to emerging trends in new media and social networks and considers the developing field of neuroscience of communication . The volume brings together authors from different geographical areas (North America, Europe, and Australia) and from different disciplines (particularly communication, linguistics, and psychology) . Contributions are organized around five themes, corresponding to the five sections of the book: defining features and constraints; tools of intergroup communication; social groups in their context; intergroup communication in organizations; and future directions .

This volume presents state-of-the-art reporting on how to measure many of the key variables in health communication . While the focus is on quantitative measures, the editors argue that these measures are centrally important to the study of health communication . The chapters emphasize constructs, scales, and up-to-date reports and evidence about key social science constructs and ways of measuring them, whether your interest is in patient-provider dyadic communication, uncertainty management, self-efficacy, disclosure, social norms, social support, risk perception, health care team performance, message design and effects, health and numerical literacy, communication satisfaction, social influence and persuasion, stigma, health campaigns, reactance, or other topics . Students, researchers, and policymakers will find this book an accessible resource for planning and reviewing research studies and proposals .

The Missing Essential in Public Communication Organizations, which are central in contemporary industrialized and post-industrial societies, including government departments and agencies, corporations, and non-government organizations, claim to want and practice twoway communication, dialogue, and engagement with citizens, customers, employees, and other stakeholders and publics . But do they in reality? Voice – speaking up – is recognized as fundamental for democracy, representation, and social equity . But what if governments, corporations, institutions, and NGOs are not listening? This book reports the findings of a twoyear, three-continent study that show that public and private sector organizations devote substantial and sometimes massive resources to construct an ‘architecture of speaking’ through advertising, PR, and other public communication practices, but listen poorly, sporadically, and sometimes not at all . Beyond identifying a ‘crisis of listening’ in modern societies, this landmark study proposes and describes how organizations need to create an architecture of listening to regain trust and re-engage people whose voices are unheard or ignored . It presents a compelling case to show that urgent attention to organizational listening is essential for maintaining healthy democracy, organization legitimacy, business sustainability, and social equity . This research is essential reading for all scholars, students, and practitioners involved in politics; government, corporate, marketing, and organizational communication; public relations; and all those interested in democratic participation, media, and society .

Health Advocacy

Digital Proxemics

A Communication Approach

How Technology Shapes the Ways We Move

There is growing emphasis in Health Communication on the study of communication processes that aim to change systems, policies, beliefs, attitudes, and/or behaviors for the betterment of the health of individuals and communities . Engagement on behalf of individual and community health is the basis of health advocacy – the attempted effort to change health policies so that better health outcomes may result . This book explores the processes and strategies involved in creating a health advocacy campaign to guide current and aspiring health advocates to successfully advocate for policy change . The Health Communication Advocacy Model is provided as a framework for exploring these issues . The model emphasizes the message design process, particularly in the tailoring of messages to address the needs of target audiences . However, consideration of important health advocacy concepts also is provided, including how to organize an advocacy team, approaches to formative research, research-based strategies for crafting effective health advocacy messages, and recommendations for what to do when an advocacy campaign is ending . This framework is designed for users to execute an advocacy effort for any health issue – from obesity, to cancer and smoking – in an efficient and effective manner . Ultimately, readers will learn how to lead a successful advocacy campaign and accomplish their desired advocacy goals .

The study of proxemics – the human use of space – is reimagined for the digital age in this book, a compelling examination of the future of the ways we move . Whereas much writing on the subject focuses on what digital technology might do for us, this book explores what the same technology might do to us . Combining dynamic stories, cutting-edge research, and deep reflection on the role of space in our lives, Digital Proxemics examines the ways that our uses of physical and digital spaces and our uses of technology are converging . It investigates the role of digital communication in proxemics, offering explorations of the ways digital technology shapes our personal bodily movement, our interpersonal negotiation of social space, and our navigation of public spaces and places . Through the lens of information and user-experience design, it adds forbidden spaces, ubicomp, augmented reality, digital surveillance, and virtual reality to the growing lexicon surrounding proxemics . The result is a spatial turn in the study of digital technology and a digital turn in the study of proxemics . As our culture changes, our ability to make choices about how to move will be called into question, as will our expectations for what roles technology will play in our lives . As we navigate this intersection, Digital Proxemics is at once a valuable lens through which we can view our shifting culture, a cautionary tale through which we might envision problematic outcomes, and an optimistic projection of possibility for the future of human communication and technology interaction .

Communication is at the heart of any complete understanding of the end of life . While it is true that individuals physically die as a single entity, the process of ending an individual life is located within a complex system of relationships and roles connected and constructed through communicative processes . In this volume, top scholars from numerous disciplines showcase the latest empirical investigations and theoretical advances that focus on communication at the end of life . This multi-contextual approach serves to integrate current findings, expand our theoretical understanding of the end of life, prioritize the significance of competent communication for scholars and practitioners, and provide a solid foundation upon which to build pragmatic interventions to assist individuals at the end of life as well as those who care for and grieve for those who are dying . This book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate courses in Death and Dying, Communication and Aging, Health Communication, Life Span Development, Life Span Communication, Long term care, Palliative care and Social Work .

Communication Across the Life Span

The Darker Side of Family Communication

Communication Theory and Millennial Popular Culture

The Harmful, the Morally Suspect, and the Socially Inappropriate

Essays and Applications

As we grow up and grow old, embrace new experiences, try new roles, and adopt new technologies, our senses of time, space, connection, and identity are fundamentally explored through communication . Why, how, with whom, and to what end humans communicate reflect and shape our ever-changing life span position . And while the «life span» can be conceived as a continuum, it is also one hinged by critical junctures and bound by cultural differences that can be better understood through communication . The chapters in this collection, chosen from among the invited plenary speakers, top research papers, and ideas discussed in San Juan, explore the multiple ways communication affects, reflects, and directs our life transition . Capturing the richness and diversity of scholarship presented at the conference, chapters explore communication technologies that define a generation; communication and successful aging; stereotyping and family communication; sexual communication and physiological measurement; life span communication and the digital divide; and home-based care contexts across the world, among others .

This volume advances theory and research by presenting original, empirical studies as well as theoretical and methodological overviews on dark family communication processes . Taking an interdisciplinary and international approach, the volume includes contributions from the most respected scholars in their specialty areas . It is the first published work on the dark side of family communication scholarship to include critical theorizing . This makes it an important contribution to family communication research in general and dark side work more specifically . Such chapters examine how gender, race, class, and sexual orientation impact and are impacted by dark family communication . In addition to a micro, interaction-based exploration of how social location and dark family communication processes intersect, some chapters offer more social critiques of dark family communication (and how it is socially constructed) at a macro-level . The volume is intended for scholars, researchers, and graduate students interested in the dark side of family communication and family dynamics . It is also well suited for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in family communication, dark side of family communication, family processes, family dynamics, family conflict, and family stress and coping .

Theories help to troubleshoot gaps in our understanding, and to make sense of a world that is constantly changing . What this book tries to do, in part, is blur the lines between the differences between today’s college students – the millennial generation – and their professors, many of whom hail from the Boom Generation and Generation X . In the following chapters, contributors build upon what both parties already know . Writing in a highly accessible yet compelling style, contributors explain communication theories by applying them to «artifacts» of popular culture . These «artifacts» include Lady Gaga, Pixar films, The Hunger Games, hip hop, Breaking Bad, and zombies, among others . Using this book, students will become familiar with key theories in communication while developing creative and critical thinking . By experiencing familiar popular culture artifacts through the lens of critical and interpretive theories, a new generation of communication professionals and scholars will hone their skills of observation and interpretation – pointing not just toward better communication production, but better social understanding . Professors will especially enjoy the opportunities for discussion this book provides, both through the essays and the «dialogue boxes» where college students provide responses to authors’ ideas .

Moral Talk Across the Lifespan

Communicating the Environment Beyond Photography

Adoleszenz in Medienkontexten

Creating Good Relationships Grounded in path-breaking research but written in an accessible, engaging style Moral Talk Across the Lifespan explores how our most fundamental moral commitments are shaped by crucial conversations with family members, romantic partners, and friends . Taking a lifespan approach, the authors demonstrate that moral growth is a continual process, one stimulated by transitions (e .g ., leaving home for university) and disruptive events (serious illness) . With chapters penned by leading relationship scholars, the volume contributes original thinking, data, and innovative theoretical pathways for researchers . For instructors it explores pressing moral questions encountered by students in their own relationships with romantic partners, friends, parents, and other family members . When is revealing a secret the right thing to do? Is revenge ever a worthy response to an insult or sleight? Why are young adults persuaded to accept some of their parents’ values but not others? Is there a right (or wrong) way to support a parent facing a terminal illness? Moral Talk Across the Lifespan offers a stimulating blend of social science research and moral reflection . It is a key text for courses in Relational Communication, Family Communication, Interpersonal Communication, and Communication Ethics .

Communicating the Environment Beyond Photography is a modern look at how photographers visualize what is happening to people and places on a changing planet . Michelle I . Seelig draws attention to what compels photographers to focus on these important messages, what tools they are using to advocate for just causes, and how photographers engage directly with citizens in a meaningful conversation beyond the photograph . Photographers continue to document the land and nature as they always have; however, today they use all media to advocate wide-ranging environmental concerns . Photographers, filmmakers, and environmentalists engage the public with visual and technologically driven content that is both affordable and portable, allowing advocacy to transcend boundaries in the global community previously overlooked by traditional media . This innovative book showcases strategies practiced by photographers, environmentalists, and advocacy groups in the twenty-first century and will serve as inspiration for future advocates of environmental issues and other important and just causes . Accessible and user-friendly, Communicating the Environment Beyond Photography is a must-read for both future photographers and individuals interested in communicating and advocating for environmental and social change .

Spring-Serenity Duvall • Leigh Moscowitz

From Digital to Analog

Snatched

Agrippa and Other Hybrids in the Beginnings of Digital Culture

Child Abductions in U .S . News Media

From Digital to Analog delves into the origins of digitization and its effects on contemporary culture . The book challenges the «common sense» assertion that digitization is just another step in the evolution of the culture of the editorial, film and recorded music industries and their enforcement of copyright laws . Digital technologies in contemporary culture have paradoxically undermined and, at the same time, strengthened such practices, provoking an unprecedented quarrel over the possession of, and access to, cultural products . Agustín Berti uses the release of Agrippa (A Book of the Dead) in 1992 to study this paradox . The importance of Agrippa for digital culture studies is proven through the discussion of the frequently understated importance of the materiality of digital culture . The book develops a critique of digital technology and its alleged neutrality and transparency . Ultimately, it illustrates how Agrippa anticipated a number of contemporary phenomena such as piracy, leaks, remixes, memes, and more, forcing us to rethink the concept of digital content itself and thus the way in which culture is produced, received and preserved today . From Digital to Analog is ideal reading for a graduate student readership, especially Master candidates in the fields of Literature, Arts, Digital Humanities, Digital Culture and New Media Studies .

Few crimes provoke the collective fear, public outrage, and media fascination that child abductions do . Stories about missing children capture national headlines and dominate public discourses about crime and deviance, child safety, parenting, the American family, and gender and sexuality . Snatched is the first book-length study to interrogate the predominant myths centered on gender and class that shaped mainstream U .S . news coverage of kidnappings in the 2000s . Through an exploration of hundreds of reports from newspapers, news magazines, television broadcasts, and web stories, Snatched critically analyzes how news narratives construct the phenomenon of child abductions, the young girls and boys who fall victim, the male perpetrators of these horrific crimes, and the adult victims of long-term abductions who were found years later . The book’s interdisciplinary nature, methodological rigor, and thorough investigation into some of the most riveting and revolting crimes of the last decade make Snatched a worthy, important, and timely contribution to the fields of media studies and girlhood studies .

Medienkollisionen und Medienprothesen Literatur – Comic – Film – Kunst – Fotografie – Musik – Theater – Internet Mediale Bezugnahmen wie Intertextualität, Metamedialität, Translation, Umschrift oder Umkodierung von Text- und Bildformaten können als Medienprothetik aufgefasst werden: Wenn Marshall McLuhan Medien grundsätzlich als extensions of man versteht, so beinhaltet dies die zunehmende Ausweitung körperlicher oder medialer Begrenztheit mittels technologischer Innovationen . Als derart verstandene Prothesen können Medien Defizite indes nicht nur kompensieren, es kann auch zu Widerständen gegen die mediale Übertragung kommen . Die Beiträge dieses Bandes beleuchten den kulturkritischen Hintergrund der McLuhanschen Medientheorie (Freuds Prothesenlogik), und in zahlreichen Fallstudien loten sie die Bandbreite der medialen Kollisionsmöglichkeiten an Beispielen aus Literatur, Comic, Film, bildender Kunst, Fotografie, Musik, Theater und Internet aus .

Prolegomena to a Science of Reasoning

International News Flow Online

The Ethics of Intercultural Communication

Phaneroscopy, Semeiotic, Logic Edited by Elize Bisanz Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914), American Scientist, Mathematician, and Logician, developed much of the logic widely used today . Using copies of his unpublished manuscripts, this book provides a comprehensive collection of Peirce’s writings on Phaneroscopy and the outlines of his project to develop a Science of Reasoning . The collection is focused on three main fields: Phaneroscopy, the science of observation, Semeiotic, the science of sign relations, and Logic, the science of inferences . Peirce understands all thought to be mediated in and through signs and its essence to be diagrammatic . The book serves as a timely contribution for the introduction of Peirce’s Phaneroscopy to the emerging research field of Image Sciences .

Global Views with Local Perspectives Why are some countries more newsworthy than others? What are the similarities and differences in the scope of international news presented in different languages and cultures? How does international news affect our perception of the world? In this book, Elad Segev explores international news flow on the internet by addressing these key questions . Segev provides a comparative analysis of the international scope of online newspapers, news portals, and news aggregators in different languages and cultures, using innovative web mining techniques and network analysis . This book explores the theory of news flow around the world, and analyses many of its dimensions such as the global standing of the United States, the Middle Eastern conflicts as seen around the world, and, the effect of financial news . In doing so, the book unveils new patterns, meanings and implications of international news on our perception of the world . Following these insights, the author discusses the opportunities and challenges of studying international news flow online in the future, and how this field of research can be further developed theoretically and empirically .

The revolution in media technologies and the political upheavals intertwined with them demand a new media ethics . Given the power of global media corporations and the high-speed electronics of media technologies worldwide, more and more people are either brought together through dialogue and communication technologies or assimilated by them into a dominant culture . In cultural conflict all over the world, people tend to emphasize absolute differences when they express themselves, and under conditions of censorship and oppression citizens are increasingly prone to violence . To take seriously dramatic technological changes in a complicated world of cultural diversity, media ethics does not simply need to be updated but moved forward in a new intercultural direction . The Ethics of Intercultural Communication presents a futuristic model for doing so . Focusing on Oriental and Western cultures, the book’s key case studies are China, North America, and Europe, where intercultural issues are relevant to an increasingly borderless world . Chapters focusing on a single nation or culture analyze findings from a cross-cultural perspective . Comparative studies appeal to transnational theories and norms . Multi-ethnic voices in any community are increasingly understood as essential for a healthy society, and the media’s ability to represent these voices well is an important arena for professional development and for enriching media codes of ethics . The news media are responsible for mapping the profound changes taking place and this book teaches us how .

Out of Time

The «Dexter Syndrome»

Mothers on Mothers

The Deaths and Resurrections of Doctor Who

The Serial Killer in Popular Culture

Maternal Readings of Popular Television

Doctor Who is one of television’s most enduring and ubiquitously popular series . This study contends that the success of the show lies in its ability, over more than half a century, to develop its core concepts and perspectives: alienation, scientific rationalism and moral idealism . The most extraordinary aspect of this eccentric series rests in its capacity to regenerate its central character and, with him, the generic, dramatic and emotional parameters of the programme . Out of Time explores the ways in which the series’ immortal alien addresses the nature of human mortality in his ambiguous relationships with time and death . It asks how the status of this protagonist – that lonely god, uncanny trickster, cyber-sceptic and technonerd – might call into question the beguiling fantasies of immortality, apotheosis and utopia which his nemeses tend to pursue . Finally, it investigates how this paragon of transgenerational television reflects the ways in which contemporary culture addresses the traumas of change, loss and death .

The serial killer has become an obsession ever since Jack the Ripper became a media sensation, embedding a new and horrifying type of murderer into our cultural consciousness – one who kills darkly and in the dark . All popular media – print, radio, television, and so on – have become absorbed by this new figure . This book traces its diff usion through all media and discusses what this reveals about modern society . Using the Dexter saga of novels and television programs as its basis, the book argues that a «Dexter Syndrome» has emerged whereby we no longer see a difference between real and fictional serial killers . The psychological and social reasons for this are explored by tracing pop culture texts themselves (movies, novels, etc .) . Above all else, Dexter’s concept of a «moral code» forms a thematic thread that allows the author to argue that our contemporary moral nihilism has produced the demand for horror and horrific characters like serial killers, who have replaced medieval demons and monsters .

From Supernanny to Gilmore Girls, from Katie Price to Holly Willoughby, a wide range of examples of mothers and motherhood appear on television today . Drawing on questionnaires completed by mothers across the UK, this book sheds new light on the varied and diverse ways in which expectant, new and existing mothers make sense of popular representations of motherhood on television . The volume examines the ways in which these women find pleasure, empowerment, escapist fantasy, displeasure and frustration in popular depictions of motherhood . The research seeks to present the voice of the maternal audience and, as such, it takes as its starting point those maternal depictions and motherwork representations that are highlighted by this demographic, including figures such as Tess Daly and Katie Hopkins and programmes like TeenMom and Kirstie Allsopp’s œuvre .

Korean Screen Cultures Interrogating Cinema, TV, Music and Online Games The «Korean Wave», or Hallyu phenomenon, has brought South Korean popular culture to the global population . Studies on Korean visual culture have therefore often focused on this aspect, leaving North Korea sidelined and often considered in a negative light because of its political regime . Korean Screen Cultures sets out to redress this imbalance with a broad selection of essays spanning both North and South as well as different methodological approaches, from ethnographic and audience studies to cultural materialist readings . The first section of the book, «The South», highlights popular media – including online gaming and television drama – and concentrates on the margins, in which the very nature of «The South» is contested . «The South and the North» examines North Korea as an ideological other in South Korean popular culture as well as discussing North Korean cinema itself . «The Global» offers new approaches to Korean popular culture beyond national borders and includes work on K-pop and Korean television drama . This book is a vital addition to existing scholarship on Korean popular culture, offering a unique view by providing an imaginary unification of the two Koreas negotiated through local and transnational popular culture flows .

The Future of the Library

Dimensions of Racism in Advertising

From Electric Media to Digital Media Originally written in the late 1970s, this book was untouched for more than 35 years . McLuhan passed away before it went to press, but Logan always intended to finish it . Even though much has changed in the three decades since work on the project was halted, many of the points that McLuhan and Logan made in the era of ‘electric media’ are highly cogent in the era of ‘digital media .’ Looking at the future of the library from the perspective of McLuhan’s original vision, Logan has carefully updated the text to address the impact of the Internet and other digital technologies on the library . McLuhan prophetically foreshadowed the transformative effect that computing would have on «mass library organization,» saying it would become obsolescent . It is perhaps no coincidence that a key theme of the book is that libraries must strive to create context given today’s hyper information overload . The authors believe this task can be achieved by putting together a compact library of books providing an overview of human culture and scholarship . This book is based on the original text that McLuhan and Logan wrote . Logan’s updates are integrated in the main text and clearly identified by markers . This preserves the flow of the original text and at the same time provides updates in the context of the original study . Other significant updates include two new chapters: Chapter 6 provides a LOM (Laws of the Media) treatment of the new post-McLuhan digital media, and Chapter 7 discusses the impact of these media on today’s library . A second part to the concluding Chapter has been added to update some of the conclusions reached in 1979, and there is also a new preface .

History of the Media, Biography

From Slavery to the Twenty-First Century Advertising has had a racial dimension from slavery to the present . Contributors to this book explore the role of institutionalized racism and bigotry in multicultural marketing since its inception in the 1920s . Promoting ethnic diversity in the advertising industry is not just an important regulatory issue but essential for representation of ethnic images in marketing . Dimensions of Racism in Advertising will be useful for both research and teaching purposes . It can be used as a textbook in upperlevel courses in African American studies, ethnic studies, advertising, mass media, public policy, sociology, and history . For policy makers, it will provide an alternative explanation for the stereotypical portrayal of Africans and African Americans in the United States and elsewhere . It will be similarly useful for nongovernmental organizations in fighting institutional racism and the marginalization of ethnic and racial groups in advertising and marketing .

Contexts of the Dark Side of Communication Research on the dark side of communication has typically been studied from a single standpoint confined to a specific context . As an intradisciplinary project, this volume transcends the traditional unilateral perspective and focuses on a wide range of communication topics across a variety of contexts . From interpersonal communication, organizational communication, computer-mediated communication, and health communication, the book presents a collection of essays that merges theory with practical application . Chapter contributors write candidly and unapologetically about how they and various populations under investigation mitigate a wealth of dark side behaviors spanning sexualization, cyberstalking, bereavement, and various illnesses . The different perspectives offer a lens through which students and academics can enhance their understanding of how dark side behaviors are experienced and communicated . They enlighten our understanding of the dark side of human communication, initiate thought-provoking conversations, and inspire future studies that will advance the limitless inquisitions of contextual dark side research .

The Dynamics of Mediatized Conflicts This book engages with the mediatized dynamics of political, military and cultural conflicts . In today’s global and converging media environment, the interrelationship between media and conflict has been altered and intensified . No longer limited to the realms of journalism and political communication, various forms of new media have allowed other social actors to communicate and act through media networks . Thus, the media not only play an important role by reporting conflicts; they have also become co-constitutive of the ways conflicts develop and spread . The first part of the book, Transnational Networks, addresses the opportunities and challenges posed by transnational media to actors seeking to engage in and manage conflicts through new media platforms . The second part, Mobilising the Personal: Crossing Public and Private Boundaries, concerns the ways in which media framings of conflicts often revolve around personal aspects of public figures . The third part, Military, War, and Media, engages with a classic theme of media studies – the power relationship between media, state, and military – but in light of the mediatized condition of modern warfare, in which the media have become an integrated part of military strategies . The book develops new theoretical arguments and a series of empirical studies that are essential reading for students and scholars interested in the complex roles of media in contemporary conflicts .

Talking Back to Globalization

Values in Governance

Texts and Practices

As our current systems of decision-making are increasingly unable to meet the global challenges of climate change, resource depletion, poverty, healthcare, economic instability and global violence, the contributors in this book make a radical proposal for an innovative form of governance that is based on core human values such as love, compassion, care, justice and dignity . Arising from a concern that the «old paradigm» of alienation, consumerism, selfishness and exploitation is damaging for humankind and the family of Earth, the book postulates that a new way of being must be in place so that intrinsic values of caring for others should underpin the intent of our decisions at personal, regional, national, international and global levels . With illustrative references and examples in fields of politics, economy, health and peace, the content of this book argues forcefully that Love, with a capital L, matters in governance, where values can serve as the basis to transform human consciousness about international institutions, community relationships and individual actions . Why Love Matters provides an important introductory text to students of global governance, management studies, political economics, international relations and peace studies, and equally offers illuminating and instructive ideas to leaders, managers and practitioners who are interested in what values-based governance means and looks like and how to go about it in practice .

Globalization is one of the most widely circulated, high-stakes buzzwords of the past generation; yet discussion of the topic is often encased in paradox and contention over what globalization is, to whom and where it may (or may not) apply, and to what effect . In Talking Back to Globalization: Texts and Practices, contributors provide a series of case studies that stress the interplay between culture, politics, and commerce . Interviews with Natalie Fenton and Radha S . Hegde survey globalization and its interpenetration with the spheres of journalism, activism, social media, and identity . The overview furnished by the interviews is followed by the volume’s two additional extended sections, «Texts» and «Practices .» Chapters in the «Texts» section seek clues about globalization through its insinuation into mediated forms . The diverse selection of cases cover television, films, online travel web pages, blues music, and the political valences of Portuguese neo-fado . Chapters in the «Practices» section address more diff used cases than media texts . Their analyses largely orient toward institutional concomitants of globalization that precede the subject’s experience of it . Chapters cover the trajectory of the European university, campaigns to shape journalistic practice during the Cold War, the posture of intellectuals vis-à-vis globalization, and the ideology that animates the Facebook experience .

Representing Youth with Disability on Television Glee, Breaking Bad, and Parenthood Representing Youth with Disability on Television is a complex and multidimensional mainstream cultural discourse that examines specific stereotypes in fictional programming . The book draws attention to the group labeled as disabled, which is often marginalized, misrepresented, and misunderstood in the media, by analyzing the popular television programs Glee, Breaking Bad, and Parenthood. To obtain a more rigorous account of the way that youth (9–18 years of age) with disability are framed on television, this analysis examines the following issues: how research on popular culture is contextualized within social theory; the theoretical perspectives on representations of disability in popular culture; and the various contexts, genres, media, representations, and definitions of youth with disability in popular culture . The text also outlines the historical growth of disability, which is crucial for a discussion regarding the changing dimensions of popular culture . Critical hermeneutics, content analysis, and methodological bricolage are the mélange of methodologies used to closely examine the dominant models of disability (social vs . medical) used in the portrayal of disabled youth on television today .

Immigrant Workers and Meanings of Work Communicating Life and Career Transitions This first-of-its-kind book uniquely captures the meanings of work expressed by immigrants . Their stories – from work histories to life transitions and professional journeys – are conscientiously and rigorously mapped by the academic insights of communication scholars, many of whom are immigrants themselves . Immigrant workers’ narratives of work and its nuances in an adopted country offer many hitherto muted, invisible, and/or purposely silenced perspectives . A variety of new and familiar terms – concepts such as career inheritance, aphorisms, cultural adaptation, acculturation, and cultural distance – and culture-specific terms such as ganas and consejos are discussed alongside the inherent struggles of identity construction across borders . While the contributors represent diversity in co-cultural affiliations, national origin, and immigration experiences encountered both personally and professionally, the stories of immigrants represent an even larger number of countries and cultures . This volume compels the academic community to acknowledge immigrants as workers whose voices matter and whose sense and processes of meaning-making is nuanced, complex, and multi-dimensional . Immigrant workers’ voices can contribute significantly to the rich growth of research in organizational communication, meanings of work, career studies, cross-cultural management, psychology of work, and work and society .

Mediated Eros Sexual Scripts Within and Across Cultures This book makes a unique contribution to the field of media studies by analyzing the perpetuation of sexual scripts through news articles, fi lms, TV shows, lifestyle magazines, advertisements, and other forms of popular mediated culture . Focusing on cultural differences between North America and Europe, the book catalogues and contextualizes common sexual scripts by looking at the ways in which people have or do not have sex, eroticize each other’s bodies, penetrate each other’s bodies, and give meaning to all these activities . Other such analyses have explored whether, when, and why people decide to have sex, and so on . This book instead focuses on how the sexual interaction itself is culturally scripted to occur – what sequence of events takes place after a couple have decided to have sex . While the first half of the book catalogues sexual scripts in a general way, based on geography and sexual orientation, the second half is framed around sexual discourses associated with some degree of shame and social stigmatization . The book ends by addressing the hegemonic perpetuation of mediated sexual scripts across cultures and the role of sexuality in fourth-wave feminism . Mediated Eros is suitable as the primary or secondary text in seminars on media, culture, and sexuality, and would also be of interest to journalists and freelance writers whose work explores the sociocultural construction of sex and the sexual self .

Current Approaches in Social Sciences

Mad Men and Working Women Feminist Perspectives on Historical Power, Resistance, and Otherness

Current Approaches in Social Sciences is a collection of research papers on a wide range of social issues written by researchers from several different institutions . The book will appeal to educators, researchers, social students and teachers of all subjects and of all levels, who wish to develop personally and professionally . It will also be useful to all those who interact, one way or another, with both students and teachers in a social context .

This book offers interpretive and contextual tools to read the AMC television series Mad Men, providing a much-needed historical explanation and exposition regarding the status of women in an era that has been painted as pre- or non-feminist . In chapters aimed at helping readers understand women’s lives in the 1960s, Mad Men is used as a springboard to explore and discover alternative ways of seeing women . Offering more than a discussion of the show itself, the book offers historical insight for thinking about serious issues that «modern» working women continue to face today: balancing their work and personal lives, competing with other women, and controlling their own bodies and reproductive choices . Rather than critiquing the show for portraying women as victims, the book shows subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways that feminism functioned in an era when women were supposedly caught between the «waves» of the women’s movement but when, the authors argue, they functioned nonetheless as empowered individuals . By doing so, it provides historical context and analysis that complicates traditional interpretations by (1) exploring historical constructions of women’s work; (2) unpacking feminist and non-feminist discourses surrounding that work; (3) identifying modes of resistance; and (4) revisiting forgotten work coded as feminine .

Successful Television Management: the Hybrid Approach

Neo-PR

Measuring the Impact of Social Media on Business Profit & Success

This book explores a hybrid model of broadcasting and takes a close look at public TV broadcasting operating in a market-driven environment . While media and media institutions play an important role in democratic societies, their management is a complex process and has to coordinate the various demands of the public, the owners, advertisers and society . Managing media institutions also has to take into account technological developments, changes in the regulatory framework and social trends . Whereas media performance reflects social developments, their management often represents catching the uncatchable: providing for the public good and offering attractive market products .

Public Relations in a Postmodern World Christopher Caldiero examines new ways of thinking about public relations practice in today’s technological and postmodern world . His concept of «Neo-PR» and its thought-provoking principles re-examines and re-frames modernistic notions of public relations for today’s burgeoning PR practitioners . The book begins by looking at the historical development of the public relations field in the context of the modernism movement of the early twentieth century . Drawing parallels to this movement, Caldiero argues that public relations practice was inevitably shaped by modernistic thinking . Using a series of recent and prevalent public relations cases, he then shines new light on different ways public relations can and must be practiced in our different world . These cases and organizations include the British Petroleum Deepwater Horizon crisis, Susan G . Komen and Planned Parenthood, The Boy Scouts of America, Penn State University, and SeaWorld . Neo-PR: Public Relations in a Postmodern World re-conceptualizes public relations as we’ve come to know it, and helps to prepare today’s undergraduate and graduate public relations students for our postmodern world .

A Fortune 500 Perspective An organization can have a high number of «likes» on its Facebook page and lots of «followers» on its Twitter account, but does that mean anything from a financial perspective? Is it worth the organization’s effort to maintain an active presence on social media in order to generate more revenue? Is it possible to use social media metrics such as the number of «likes» and the number of «followers» to predict an organization’s «success» even though those metrics are nonfinancial indicators? Prior research studies have looked at how organizations should utilize social media, but few studies have provided strong empirical evidence to support how the outcome of using social media should be measured and why . Focusing on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and YouTube, this book examines how Fortune 500 companies use social media . Collected over a five-year period, the authors assess the companies’ social media activities and their business performance data, such as stock return, total revenue, net income, and earnings per share . These data, both financial and nonfinancial, are matched and statistically analyzed to see whether a company’s social media activities are significantly associated with its business performance .

Hashtag Publics The Power and Politics of Discursive Networks

The Intersection of Audiences and Production in Contemporary Theory .

Race, Sex, Class, and Culture Online

Volume 2

From race, sex, class, and culture, the multidisciplinary field of Internet studies needs theoretical and methodological approaches that allow us to question the organization of social relations that are embedded in digital technologies, and that foster a clearer understanding of how power relations are organized through technologies . Representing a scholarly dialogue among established and emerging critical media and information studies scholars, this volume provides a means of foregrounding new questions, methods, and theories which can be applied to digital media, platforms, and infrastructures . These inquiries include, among others, how representation to hardware, software, computer code, and infrastructures might be implicated in global economic, political, and social systems of control . By looking at both the broader political and economic context and the many digital technology acculturation processes as they are differentiated intersectionally, a clearer picture emerges of how under-acknowledging culturally situated and gendered information technologies are impacting the possibility of participation with (or purposeful abstinence from) the Internet . This book is ideal for undergraduate and graduate courses in Internet studies, library and information studies, communication, sociology, and psychology . It is also ideal for researchers with varying expertise and will help to advance theoretical and methodological approaches to Internet research .

This collection investigates the publics of the hashtag . Taking cues from critical public sphere theory, contributors are interested in publics that break beyond the mainstream – in other publics . They are interested in the kinds of publics that do politics in a way that is rough and emergent, flawed and messy, and ones in which new forms of collective power are being forged on the fly and in the shadow of loftier mainstream spheres . Hashtags are deictic, indexical – yet what they point to is themselves, their own dual role in ongoing discourse . Focusing on hashtags used for topics from Ferguson, Missouri, to Australian politics, from online quilting communities to labour protests, from feminist outrage to drag pop culture, this collection follows hashtag publics as they trend beyond Twitter into other spaces of social networking such as Facebook, Instagram, and Tumblr as well as other media spaces such as television, print, and graffiti .

Continuing the explorations begun in the first Produsing Theory volume, this book provides a site at which varied theories – some still emerging – can intersect and shine a light into the spaces between what previously had been neatly separated and discrete components of media systems . In some settings, division by audience, content, and production settings remains useful, but this volume, like the first, is all about the interstices . Contributors reflect varied perspectives in their approaches to the spaces formed as a result of rapidly developing and swiftly deploying new communications technologies and social soft ware . They shine multiple spotlights into the intersection of audiences and production, providing a guide toward a nuanced understanding of the interstitial spaces .

The ESPN Effect

Journalism in Change

Exploring the Worldwide Leader in Sports

Journalistic Culture in Poland, Russia and Sweden

ESPN has grown from a start-up cable network in a small Connecticut town to a $50 billion global enterprise . For the past 35 years, ESPN – along with its sister networks – has been the preeminent source for sports for millions around the globe . Its 24-hour coverage of sports news and programming has cultivated generations of sports consumers, utilizing multiple ESPN platforms for news and entertainment . The pervasiveness of the company’s branded content has influenced how sports fans think and feel about the people who play and control these games . In The ESPN Effect, leading sports media scholars examine ESPN and its impact on culture, sports journalism, audience, and the business of sports media . The final part of the book considers the future of ESPN, beginning with an interview with Chris LaPlaca, ESPN senior vice president . As the first academic text dedicated to the self-proclaimed «worldwide leader in sports», this book contributes to the growth of sports media research and provides a starting point for scholars examining the present and future impact of ESPN .

Media developments change journalism all over the world . But are the changes the same in different media systems? How is professionalization influenced by the constant growth of a network society and social media? How are commercialization and political influences in the media relating to each other? These are some of the issues discussed in this study . It is based on the research project Journalism in Change – professional journalistic cultures in Poland, Russia and Sweden . From 2011 to 2014 researchers from Sweden, Poland and Russia at Södertörn University in Stockholm have been cooperating closely in order to survey a sample of 1500 journalists and 60 in depth interviews with journalists . The results are presented in a comparative design covering different areas .

The Funniest Pages International Perspectives on Humor in Journalism Charles Dickens, celebrated novelist and journalist, believed that his greatest ability as a writer was to make people laugh . Yet, to date, humor has been strangely marginalized in journalism, communication and media studies . This innovative book draws together the work of seventeen writers to show that, starting in the 1640s during the English Civil War, and continuing through to the present time, humor has indeed been an important ingredient of journalism . Countries studied include Australia, Britain, Canada, Chile and the United States . The Funniest Pages is divided into four sections: «Seriously Funny, From Past to Present», «Unsolemn Columnists», «This Sporting Life» and a final section, «Have Mouse, Will Laugh», which looks at humor in online journalism . Chapters examine Joseph Addison, Richard Steele and the birth of social and political satire; Allen Ginsberg, Mad magazine, and the culture wars of the 1950s; John Clarke and the power of satire in journalism, and more .

Digital Literacy A Primer on Media, Identity, and the Evolution of Technology The Internet, World Wide Web, and digital devices have fundamentally changed the way people communicate, affecting everything from business, to school, to family, to religion, to democracy . This textbook takes a wellrounded view of the evolution from media literacy to digital literacy to help students better understand the digitally fi ltered world in which they live . The text explores digital literacy through three lenses: • Historical: reviews snapshots of time and space to delineate how things were in order to lend context to how they are; • Cultural: explores how values and ideals are constructed and conveyed within a given cultural context – how humans absorb and share the informal rules and norms that make up a society; • Critical: illuminates how social changes – particularly rapid ones – can put certain people at a disadvantage . All three angles are helpful for better understanding the myriad ways in which our identities and relationships are being altered by technology, and what it means to be a citizen in a society that has become individualized and is in constant flux . Written in a conversational and approachable style, the text is easy to navigate, with short chapters, short paragraphs, and bullet points . Comics and images illustrate complex topics and add visual interest .

Communication and Political Crisis Media, Politics and Governance in a Globalized Public Sphere Communication and Political Crisis explores the role of the global media in a period of intensifying geopolitical conflict . Through case studies drawn from domestic and international political crises such as the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, leading media scholar Brian McNair argues that the digitized, globalized public sphere now confronted by all political actors has produced new opportunities for social progress and democratic reform, as well as new channels for state propaganda and terrorist spectaculars such as those performed by the Islamic State and Al Qaeda . In this major work, McNair argues that the role of digital communication will be crucial in determining the outcome of pressing global issues such as the future of feminism and gay rights, freedom of speech and media, and democracy itself .

Practical Communication: Use of Media in Government, Politics, Church, Society

Worker Resistance and Media Challenging Global Corporate Power in the 21st Century With developments in media technologies creating new opportunities and challenges for social movements to emerge and mobilize, this book is a timely and necessary examination of how organized labour and workers movements are engaging with this shifting environment . Based on extensive empirical research into emerging migrant and low-wage workers movements and their media practices, this book takes a critical look at the nature of worker resistance to ever-growing global corporate power in a digital age . Situating trade unionism in historical context, the book considers other forms of worker organizations and unionism, including global unionism, social movement unionism, community unionism, and syndicalist unionism, all of which have become increasingly relevant in a digitized world-system . At a time when the labour movement is said to be in crisis, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in the state of the labour movement, the future of unions, and the possibilities for challenging corporate exploitation of workers today .

Practical Communication: Use of Media in Government, Politics, Church, Society

Sami Zlitni • Fabien Liénard (eds)

Electronic Communication Political, Social and Educational uses Whether they are citizens or political, client or company, learner or teacher, men now converse with a variety of stakeholders by using ICT . All these electronic tools promote uses and practices which give them considerable power of speech, strong freedom of expression and choice . So each of us participates actively, wherever we are and whenever we want, in the construction of «new intermediate spaces» making permeable classical border from public to private space . All this justifies this collective work that proposes to examine electronic communication from various angles . Thus, twenty-three researchers were involved in the drafting of the nine chapters of this volume we introduce, in collaboration with Marina Haan . The transcription of an Yves Winkin conference contextualizes it . This conference took place in June 2014 and was held on the occasion of an international conference on Electronic Communication, Cultures and Identities . The chapters proposed here are not answers but insights from experience and research worldwide . The chapters are grouped into two main parts: ICT and political communication and Education, identity and electronic communication . Two parts which ultimately correspond to areas that use electronic communication with various initial communication objectives .

Europe plurielle Multiple Europes Edité par Hagen Schulz-Forberg La collection Europe plurielle tente d’analyser à la fois la richesse du passé dont l’Europe est issue et la complexité de son présent à travers une lecture transdisciplinaire, historique et globale – en un mot : plurielle . L’histoire de l’Europe et l’histoire de l’intégration européenne se sont influencées mutuellement dans le passé et continuent à le faire . Il existe, en effet, une tension inhérente entre elles . Mais le terme « Europe » renvoie à une espace et à un signifié bien plus amples et complexes que celui d’« Union Européenne » . Par ailleurs, l’histoire européenne s’est trop longtemps penchée sur elle-même et doit à présent s’articuler aux relations internationales en général . Les relations entre l’idée de l’Europe, l’histoire européenne, l’histoire mondiale et l’intégration européenne doivent donc être abordées de façon plus large dans un dialogue interdisciplinaire qui intègre également une réflexion critique à l’intérieur de chaque discipline . Tels sont les objectifs de la collection .

The series Multiple Europes is multiple in two ways: it understands Europe in an interdisciplinary manner with a strong historical perspective, and it understands Europe as being inserted in transnational and global contexts . On both levels, the perspectives on Europe and the very role and understanding of Europe is multiple . The special emphasis of the series thus lies in understanding the pasts of Europe as well as its complex present . The history of Europe and the history of European integration have influenced each other in the past and will continue to do so in the future . There is an inbuilt tension in the relation between European history and the history of European integration . Europe signifies a space and semantics much broader and more complex than the EU . The relations between ideas of Europe, European history, global history and European integration need to be faced more openly . In order to do this, an open dialogue between academic disciplines is just as necessary as critical self-reflection within each discipline . Furthermore, European history was preoccupied with looking at itself and needs to be connected to global relations .

Global Crises and the Media Edited by Simon Cottle From climate change to the war on terror, financial meltdowns to forced migrations, pandemics to world poverty and humanitarian disasters to the denial of human rights, these and other crises represent the dark side of our globalized planet . They are endemic to the contemporary global world and so too are they highly dependent on the world’s media . Each of the specially commissioned books in the Global Crises and the Media series examines the media’s role, representation and responsibility in covering major global crises . They show how the media can enter into their constitution, enacting them on the public stage and thereby helping to shape their future trajectory around the world . Each book provides a sophisticated and empirically engaged understanding of the topic in order to invigorate the wider academic study and public debate about the most pressing and historically unprecedented global crises of our time .

Challenging Communication Research

Selected Series

Media and Communication

Language as Social Action Edited by Howard Giles This series explores new and exciting advances in the ways in which language both reflects and fashions social reality – and thereby constitutes critical means of social action . As well as these being central foci in face-to-face interactions across different cultures, they also assume significance in the ways that language functions in the mass medias, new technologies, organizations, and social institutions . Language as Social Action does not uphold apartheid against any particular methodological and/or ideological position, but, rather, promotes (wherever possible) cross-fertilization of ideas and empirical data across the many, all-too-contrastive, social scientific approaches to language and communication . Contributors to the series will also accord due attention to the historical, political, and economic forces that contextually bound the ways in which language patterns are analyzed, produced, and received . The series will also provide an important platform for theory-driven works that have profound, and oftentimes provocative, implications for social policy .

Mediated Youth Edited by Sharon Mazzarella Mediated Youth publishes cutting-edge new research on the cultures, artifacts, and media of children, tweens, teens, and college-aged youth . Whether studying television, popular music, fashion, sports, toys, the Internet, self-publishing, leisure, clubs, school cultures/ activities, fi lm, dance, language, tie-in merchandising, concerts, subcultures, or other forms of popular culture, books in this series go beyond the dominant paradigm of traditional studies of the effects of media/culture on youth . Instead, works published in this series endeavor to understand the complex relationship between youth and popular culture, and, whenever possible, will include the voices of youth themselves .

Technological development and the emergence of new notions of media and media-like services (blogs, online gaming, social networks, wikis, virtual worlds etc .) have changed the nature of communication, making it more open, personalized, fragmented and interactive . At the sametime a shift in paradigms in relation to traditional concepts of democracy, political communication and public participation has been observed . All of this has an impact on the functioning of contemporary societies and offers a wide range of opportunities for reexamination and redefinition of several concepts in social science . In Studies in Communication and Politics the editors are particularly interested in changing approaches to democracy, communication, political participation and media . By publishing collaborative works and monographs they aim at supporting and promoting interdisciplinary research, offering comparative approach and/or examining national factors for communication and politics development . Hence, the emphasis here is being put on the changing approaches to democracy and its institutions, political actors, electoral campaigns, as well as citizens’ participation in political processes, electoral behavior, and so on . Having in mind the changing media landscape and the rise of media ecologies we also aim at investigating emerging communication and media policies, evolution of journalism culture, changing patterns of users’ behavior and media innovations in the digital and multiplatform scenario . All of this when taking into account interrelations between communication and as well as the role of media in contemporary politics . The editors believe that the topic presented here will stimulate international and interdisciplinary research changes and challenges facing communication and politics today . We also hope that the wide range of approaches presented in each collection will be of interest for researchers, academic experts as well as policy makers and media professionals who might be particularly interested in taking a part in the debate on emerging theories and practices .

This series is devoted to scholarship relating to media ecology, a field of inquiry defined as the study of media as environments . Within this field, the term «medium» can be defined broadly to refer to any human technology or technique, code or symbol system, invention or innovation, system or environment . Media ecology scholarship typically focuses on how technology, media, and symbolic form relate to communication, consciousness, and culture, past, present and future . This series is looking to publish research that furthers the formal development of media ecology as a field; that brings a media ecology approach to bear on specific topics of interest, including research and theoretical or philosophical investigations concerning the nature and effects of media or a specific medium; that includes studies of new and emerging technologies and the contemporary media environment as well as historical studies of media, technology, and modes and codes of communication; scholarship regarding technique and the technological society; scholarship on specific types of media and culture (e .g ., oral and literate cultures, image, etc .), or of specific aspects of culture such as religion, politics, education, journalism, etc .; critical analyses of art and popular culture; and studies of how physical and symbolic environments function as media .
