"This Handbook charts the growing area of journalism studies, exploring the current state of theory and setting an agenda for future research in an international context. The volume is structured around theoretical and empirical approaches, and covers scholarship on news production and organizations; news content; journalism and society; and journalism in a global context. Emphasizing comparative and global perspectives, each chapter explores: Key elements, thinkers, and texts; historical context; current state of the art; methodological issues; merits and advantages of the approach/area of studies; limitations and critical issues of the approach/area of studies; directions for future research."
