Becoming the News: How Ordinary People Respond to the Media Spotlight

This thought-provoking study explores how ordinary people make sense of their experience as media subjects, shedding new light on the practice of journalism and our relationship with the mainstream media.

Based on dozens of interviews with news subjects, Ruth Palmer examines the motivations behind sharing one's story, the power dynamics between journalists and their subjects, and the impact of social media on these interactions. A timely analysis that has important implications for how we think about the production and consumption of news in today's media landscape.
