Description

Reinventing Professionalism: Journalism and News in Global Perspective The notion of professionalism in journalism is under scrutiny as the future of news becomes increasingly uncertain. Media expert Silvio Waisbord explores this pressing issue, arguing that "professional journalism" encompasses both ethical standards and collective efforts to control the news. Waisbord challenges the traditional view of professionalism, which has historically been associated with Western norms over the past century. Instead, he examines how journalists define their work and rules in different settings, highlighting the importance of specialization and occupational practice. This critical analysis sheds light on the reinvention of professionalism in modern journalism, shaped by political, technological, and economic trends. This insightful book offers a global perspective on professional journalism, critically examining its meanings, expectations, and critiques.
