Description
The Shaping of News: A Framework for Analysis by Julie Firmstone provides a comprehensive understanding of how news is produced and its implications for democracy. This book brings together existing research to explore the complex factors that shape news, including journalism norms, news sources, audience dynamics, and the role of news organisations. By examining these factors in depth, using real-world examples and considering changing conditions, Firmstone charts significant changes, challenges, and responses in the news production landscape. This analysis provides essential background for understanding the consequences of current transformations on the democratic qualities of news. This framework offers a valuable tool for anyone interested in journalism, media studies, or social science, providing a nuanced perspective on the complex issues shaping the news industry today.
