Abstract

"This comprehensive edited collection provides key contributions in the field, mapping out fundamental topics and analysing current trends through an international lens. Offering a collection of invited contributions from scholars across the world, the volume is structured in seven parts, each exploring a particular aspect of local media and journalism that provide the framework to bring together and consolidate the latest research and theorisations from the field, and fresh understandings of local media from a comparative perspective and within a global context. Addressing the significant changes local media and journalism has undergone in the last decade, the companion explores the history, politics, ethics and contents of local media, as well as delving deeper into the business and practices that affect not only the journalists and media-makers involved, but consumers as well. For students and researchers in the fields of journalism studies, journalism education, cultural studies and media and communications programmes, this is the comprehensive guide to local media and journalism"--

Abstract

The dominant news media is often accused of reflecting an 'elite bias', privileging and foregrounding the interests of a small segment of society, while ignoring the narratives of the majority. Tell Our Story investigates the problem of disproportionate media representation and offers a hands-on demonstration of listening journalism and research in practice to promote a more active engagement between journalists and local communities. In the process the authors dismiss the idea that some groups are voiceless, arguing that what is often described is a matter of those groups being deliberately ignored. The authors focus on three communities in South Africa, each presenting with differing but crucial historical, geographical and socio-political 'characteristics' of the post-1994 period. Adopting an audience-centred approach, the authors delve into the life and struggle narratives of each community. They expose the divides between the stories as told by the people in the community who have lived experience of these events, and the way in which these stories are understood and shaped by the media. The implications of the media's routine misrepresentation of the voices of the marginalised and poor for media diversity, media credibility and ethics, media education and training, as well as media research are unpacked and the authors offer a useful set of practical guidelines for journalists on the practice of listening journalism.

Abstract

Dans les sociétés démocratiques, les libertés fondamentales telles que la liberté de la presse et la liberté d'expression nous paraissent désormais assurées et bien protégées par des lois et des chartes de droits. Pourtant, avec la multiplication des médias de diffusion et de distribution dans les dernières décennies, ces acquis semblent être remis en question, ce qui soulève de vives inquiétudes. En effet, appartenant à un nombre de plus en plus réduit de conglomérats, la plupart des médias – de la presse écrite à Internet – sont désormais soumis à la marchandisation et à l'homogénéisation des contenus. Dans cet ouvrage, on trouvera des analyses contrastées portant principalement sur les médias communautaires et une réflexion à la fois théorique et pratique sur les rapports entre médias et démocratie. Les auteurs, chercheurs et professionnels des médias, en appellent à une nécessaire vigilance pour que les médias demeurent un service public accessible à tous, permettant de tendre vers l'exercice de la démocratie.

Abstract

In recent decades, turnout in US presidential elections has soared, education levels have hit historic highs, and the internet has made information more accessible than ever. Yet over that same period, Americans have grown less engaged with local politics and elections. Drawing on detailed analysis of fifteen years of reporting in over 200 local newspapers, along with election returns, surveys, and interviews with journalists, this study shows that the demise of local journalism has played a key role in the decline of civic engagement. As struggling newspapers have slashed staff, they have dramatically cut their coverage of mayors, city halls, school boards, county commissions, and virtually every aspect of local government. In turn, fewer Americans now know who their local elected officials are, and turnout in local elections has plummeted. To reverse this trend and preserve democratic accountability in our communities, the local news industry must be reinvigorated - and soon.

Abstract

Comment les médias (presse, radio, télévision) se sont-ils adaptés aux transformations des villes depuis plus de deux siècles ? Comment s'y sont-ils implantés, ont-ils contribué au rayonnement des villes et à définir les contours de l'espace qu'elles dominent ? Quels furent et quels sont encore les relations entre les journalistes et les pouvoirs urbains ? La complaisance des premiers à l'égard des seconds, tentés par le contrôle de l'information locale à des fins de propagande ou de communication, relève-t-elle du cliché ou est-elle fondée ? Telles sont quelques unes des questions posées par cet ouvrage qui s'applique à saisir le rôle des médias dans la construction des identités urbaines, en France, de la seconde moitié du xviiie siècle à nos jours. Au carrefour de deux domaines de recherche en plein renouvellement, ce livre associe à la réflexion d'historiens modernistes et contemporanéistes, l'analyse de spécialistes d'autres sciences humaines (sociologie, politologie, information et communication). Il dégage, au total, de vastes champs d'études et met en perspective des interrogations que brouille parfois une actualité trop brûlante.
