"Das Lokale ist publizistische Kraftquelle und innovativer Hotspot, hier wird mit neuen Formen und Formaten experimentiert. Im Lokalen beginnen viele Journalisten ihre Karriere. Das Lokale ist beim Leser beliebt und der Einfluss der Berichterstattung auf die Eliten vor Ort ist hoch. Band 5 zeigt pra

ktisch, was den Lokalteil stark macht: wie Lokalrecherche funktioniert, wie Informationen richtig selektiert werden und wie die Präsentation und die Vermittlung zum Nutzer gelingt. Denn der journalistische Alltag im Lokalen ist nicht einfach. Zeitdruck, Kungelei und Bequemlichkeit sind an der Tagesordnung. Das Buch benennt nicht nur diese Gefährdungen, sondern zeigt auch, wie Journalisten den täglichen Pressemitteilungen, Ankündigungen und Terminen neue Seiten abgewinnen können. Interviews mit gestandenen Lokaljournalisten sowie zahlreiche Fallbeispiele runden die einzelnen Kapitel ab. Das Internet scheint inzwischen allmächtig. Doch der Schein trügt: Die Regionalpresse kann sich von der publizistischen Konkurrenz abheben, indem sie auf ihre Lokalkompetenz setzt: Statt „more of the same“ heißt es fortan „out of the ordinary“. Globalität gibt dem Lokalen eine neue Wertigkeit, Band 5 greift diesen Trend auf." (Verlagsbeschreibung)

"All stories about an ordinary person who becomes the victim of abuse require extra sensitivity, because survivors of abuse – whether the abuse is physical, emotional or political – are usually survivors of a traumatic event. There are many kinds of traumatic events. A terrible car crash, an ear

thquake, and a war can all be traumatic events. In this guide, we will focus on trauma caused by violence – civil or political unrest, war, genocide, communal violence, domestic violence, and sexual violence. Experiencing a traumatic event affects survivors in many ways. Journalists should be aware of these effects because they will also affect how journalists can – and should – work. This guide will give working journalists concrete tools for understanding the effects of trauma and for conducting sensitive reporting and writing on trauma stories. It is written for group use and for self-study." (Page 2)
