[ecrea] new book: Reporting cultures on 60 Minutes

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.
