current state and practices of TV news making today. The Routledge 
Companion to TV News Making aims to be a seminal reference source for 
the rapidly changing field of TV news. This book aims to bring a 
multi-facetted perspective to current debates on TV news and news making 
today. It is the hope that this companion will bring a new perspective 
to the field of TV news studies, mixing the everyday reality of TV news 
work with analysis from a varied range of academic disciplines. This 
approach will be shaped by new analysis from international writers of 
multiple disciplines welcoming theories from both politics, media 
studies, communications, sociology and anthropology.

*BOOK THEMES*:
We are very much looking forward to your submission. Possible themes 
could suit, but are not limited to these following themes:

*PART I: THE HISTORY OF TV NEWS*

This section will cover both the history of broadcasting, the history of 
public service broadcasting. Discussions will include how broadcasters 
once enjoyed a monopoly on news, much different to today when news is 
available on a plethora of broadcasters, media and platforms.

*PART II: DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO STUDYING THE MAKING OF TV NEWS*

This section will introduce a range of different approaches to studying 
TV news making.

*PART III: CENTRAL ISSUES*

This section gives an insight into some of the most central issues in 
the study of TV news making today. Concepts of democracy and the public 
sphere will be central categories of analysis.**

**

*PART IV: **EMERGING TRENDS*

Among others, this section will introduce some of the main discussions 
on multiskilling journalism and the use of social media for broadcast 
news today. The section will also devote space to focus on how 
journalists perceive current changes and how this influences workflows.


*PART V: TV NEWS-MAKING AROUND THE WORLD *
This section will provide a global perspective to current debate of TV 
news making. As may be shown, TV news still plays a crucial part in 
nation building, democracy and local governance around the world.

*PART VI: DISCUSSIONS ON THE FUTURE OF TV NEWS *
So, will TV news survive? Is this a time of apocalypse or opportunity 
for Broadcast news? No doubt the role of TV news is rapidly changing. 
Where will TV news making be in ten years? And what exactly will the 
Internet and the increased demand for using social media mean to TV 
news? This section will attempt at answering some of these, and many 
more questions facing TV journalism makers and TV news researchers today.
