Ideal for an international journalism course.
Brings new perspectives to the understanding of journalism for students who have seen the practice from a narrower viewpoint
This book takes a very broad sweep across the practice of being a foreign correspondent and offers considerable theoretical detail. The text will be used as part of the year 1 Introduction to Reporting module, which has content that focuses on international journalism, which the book covers very well. The module covers a broad range of introductory elements and this book will be the only recommended text that deals specifically with international journalism.
A well-written, authoritative, collection of work that puts current developments and future trends into their historical context, which is invaluable for students to attain a well-rounded picture of events they are covering. This is such a massive subject area so the risk is that it becomes a shallow overview of too many things, but the book manages to capture so much of it at sufficient depth that it is essential reading for students of International Journalism
This is a valuable and important contribution to our understanding of the purpose, complexities, and problems of international reporting in the 21st century. Each chapter is informative and well researched; Chapter 5, on news management, especially illuminating.
This is an excellent introduction to some of the key issues facing journalists working internationally. It is a great primer for students eeking to understand these issues either for working as foreign correspondents or wanting to know more about agencies or global journalism.
