Sun Dec 11 09:00:16 GMT 2016



Donal Carbaugh and Michael Berry. /Reporting cultures on 60 Minutes: Missing the Finnish line in an American broadcast/. (Routledge, 2017).

This is a book about reporting as a cultural practice of communication. The authors explore several ways reports are constructed and used by the media: some as officially prepared as when done by journalists; others as less officially done as in our everyday routines. Examined in detail is a report about Finnish culture that was constructed in a segment of the US television program, /60 Minutes/. This brings into view journalistic practices of reporting culture but also Finnish lay people reporting, American lay people reporting, with each reporting not only about their homeland but also about the other’s ways of doing things. This range of reporting practices gives voice to deeply cultural dynamics which are at play in international affairs on such a multicultural stage. In the end, the book presents a critical perspective for constructing and interpreting the practice of reporting cultures.
