The Global Journalist in the 21st Century systematically assesses the demographics, education, socialization, professional attitudes and working conditions of journalists in various countries around the world. This book updates the original Global Journalist (1998) volume with new data, adding more than a dozen countries, and provides material on comparative research about journalists that will be useful to those interested in doing their own studies. The editors put together this collection working under the assumption that journalists’ backgrounds, working conditions and ideas are related to what is reported (and how it is covered) in the various news media round the world, in spite of societal and organizational constraints, and that this news coverage matters in terms of world public opinion and policies. Outstanding features include: Coverage of 33 nations located around the globe, based on recent surveys conducted among representative samples of local journalists Comprehensive analyses by well-known media scholars from each country A section on comparative studies of journalists An appendix with a collection of survey questions used in various nations to question journalists As the most comprehensive and reliable source on journalists around the world, The Global Journalist will serve as the primary source for evaluating the state of journalism. As such, it promises to become a standard reference among journalism, media, and communication students and researchers around the world.

Providing a truly comprehensive overview of international journalism and global news reporting in the digital age, this new introductory textbook surveys the full variety of contexts that journalists around the world operate in; the challenges and pressures they face; their journalistic practices; and the wider theoretical and social implications. Analysing key scholarship in the field, Vera Slavtcheva-Petkova and Michael Bromley explore not just journalism as a single entity, but equally the multiple cultures which host journalism and the variety of journalisms which exist across the world. Clear and accessible, this is an ideal companion for undergraduate and postgraduate students of international and global journalism on journalism or media and communication studies degrees.

This volume includes reports of systematic surveys of journalists in 21 countries. It takes a global perspective on the demographics, education, socialization, professionalization, and working conditions of journalists in these countries.

Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Communications - Journalism, Journalism Professions, grade: 95, , course: English, language: English, abstract: A close look at journalistic hazards around the world, what they are caused by, and how they can be resolved. War, political disruption, crime, and poverty are all part of the chaos that makes up this vast world we know. The public would not be aware of the Syrian crises, nor would we know about the riots persisting in Egypt without the proper documentation made accessible to the common good. The journalists that cover world affairs are the voices of the Syrian refugees, the faces of the Pakistanis that have lost their loved ones to war, and the children suffering from ailments unknown to the United States; they are the eyes and ears of our country.
