Förlagets beskrivning
Images of journalism usually reflect its informational role in the political process: the provision of news, the investigative reporter, the fourth estate. In counterpoint to these conventional images this book provides a lively analysis of journalism in its other guise - as entertainment.
Viewing journalism in the context of popular culture raises a distinctive set of issues about the nature of the media in contemporary societies. A central question lies around the idea of `the popular' in relation to journalism. What is the relation between the messages conveyed by journalists and the popular culture on which they draw and to which they aim to appeal? How are tabloid newspapers and popular television read or consumed, and what influence do they exert?
In a series of interrelated studies of newspapers and television, the authors of this book both examine the theoretical problems in assessing popular journalism, and consider common examples of its manifestations - its relationship to media stars, the coverage of sport, and the presentation of news in a `popular' form.
This groundbreaking book will be of interest to lecturers and students of journalism, cultural studies, popular culture, and media and communication studies
