Edited by Fred Vultee, Lee Wilkins
Part of the Journalism Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
The study of news and news practice is rich in examinations of what journalists owe to society.
However, this book looks at what journalists can expect from society: what roles ownership structures, colleagues, governments and audiences should play so journalists can do their jobs well – and safely. What Journalists Are Owed draws on a variety of research perspectives – legal and ethical analysis, surveys, interviews and content analysis – in different national settings to look at how those relationships among stakeholders are developing in a time of rapid and often unsettling chance to the political and economic environments that surround journalism.
Journalism can be a risky business. This book opens some discussions on those risks can be described and mitigated. There’s no shortage of writing about what journalists owe society – but if society wants journalism done well, what does it owe journalists in return?
This volume opens a discussion on the cultural, legal-system and professional agreements that societies should provide so journalists can do their jobs in increasingly hostile political environments.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Journalism Studies.
