The Routledge Companion to News and Journalism brings together scholars committed to the conceptual and methodological development of news and journalism studies from around the world.Across 50 chapters, organized thematically over seven sections, contributions examine a range of pressing challenges for news reporting - including digital convergence, mobile platforms, web analytics and datafication, social media polarization, and the use of drones. Journalism's mediation of social issues is also explored, such as those pertaining to human rights, civic engagement, gender inequalities, the environmental crisis, and the Black Lives Matter movement. Each section raises important questions for academic research, generating fresh insights into journalistic forms, practices, and epistemologies. The Companion furthers our understanding of why we have ended up with the kind of news reporting we have today - its remarkable strengths, the difficulties it faces, and how we might improve upon it for tomorrow.Completely revised and updated for its second edition, this volume is ideal for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers, and academics in the fields of news, media, and journalism studies.

This book brings together a group of scholars and media commentators to explore journalism's present and future, by engaging with issues such as trauma, free speech, censorship, patriotism, impartiality, and celebrity.
