[ecrea] new book: Magazine Journalism

Fri Nov 11 12:02:16 GMT 2011





Magazine Journalism (Tim Holmes and Liz Nice) has just been published by Sage as part of its Key Texts series.

In magazines we find some of the key debates in journalism, from the genesis of 'marketing to the reader' to feminist history, subcultures and tabloidization. Embedding these questions in a thoroughly historical framework, *Holmes and Nice* argue for an understanding of magazine journalism as essential in the media landscape. Moving beyond the semiotic and textual analysis so favoured by critics of the past, the authors complete the story with an exploration of the production and consumption of magazines. Drawing on interviews with more than 30 magazine journalists across the industry, what emerges is a story of resilience, innovation and a unique ability to embrace new markets and readerships.

Magazine Journalism adds to the all-too-brief canon of works about magazines and periodicals. Full details can be found on the Sage website: http://www.uk.sagepub.com/books/Book232219
