Foundations of Community Journalism / Edition 1

Foundations of Community Journalism is the first and only book to focus on how to understand and conduct research in this ever-increasing field. With chapters written by established journalism scholars and teachers, this book provides students and researchers with an understanding of the multiple me thods applied to the study of community journalism, such as historical, soc ial-scientific, cultural/critical, and interdisciplinary approaches. It exp lains what community journalism is as a research concept and offers a range of different methods and theories that can be applied to community journal ism research. Although there are numerous "how-to" community journalism man uals for students and newspaper editors, none focuses on how to conduct res earch into community journalism. The body of knowledge in Foundations of Co mmunity Journalism would take readers months, perhaps years, of independent work to gather, making this book a "must-have" volume and reference tool f or anybody who is interested in the relationships between journalism and co mmunities. Editorial Reviews This book has been needed for so long [and will make] a tremendous contribu tion. Community journalism and journalism's relation to communities and com munity formation, maintenance and destruction has never been as relevant as now, yet there is not one source that provides an adequate overview of res earch and a synthesis of the most relevant content in the area. [This book] promises to be a widely cited foundation work in the area.I've waited ye ars for a book like this. - Doug Fisher.
