Description
Bourdieu and the Journalistic Field presents a new perspective on our media-saturated culture by exploring Pierre Bourdieu's critique of the 'journalistic field'. This collection of essays delves into the relationship between the journalistic field and external economic and political pressures, examining how journalists maintain autonomy in their work. The book considers case studies such as media coverage of the AIDS-contaminated blood scandal in France and U.S. youth media activism, as well as contributions from leading scholars on methods for measuring field autonomy and spatially mapping journalistic fields. By exploring these topics, the authors demonstrate why field theory remains a valuable research paradigm whose potential has yet to be fully realised. This book includes an important unpublished text by Pierre Bourdieu, 'Fields of Journalism, Social Science and Politics', alongside contributions from prominent scholars in the field.
