Challenging journalism’s long-standing commitment to objectivity, this book breaks new ground in developing the idea of journalism as a community of affective practice. Drawing on a series of empirical case studies, the book looks behind the scenes of journalistic work to uncover the emotional labour carried out by journalists, often at great personal cost, across contexts ranging from user-generated content to terrorist attacks, conflicts and crises and the “post-truth society.” In doing so, it offers indispensable insights for anyone who cares about journalism.
