[Commlist] Fwd: [IAMCR] New Publication: (De)constructing societal threats during times of deep mediatization

Virpi Salojärvi (University of Helsinki/University of Vassa) and Paul 
Reilly are pleased to announce the publication of the co-edited 
book/(De)constructing societal threats during times of deep mediatization/.

A description of the book can be found below:

This book explores how both elite and non-elite actors frame societal 
threats such as the refugee crisis and COVID-19 using both digital and 
traditional media. It also explores ways in which the framing of these 
issues as threatening can be challenged using these platforms.

People typically experience societal threats such as war and terrorism 
through the media they consume, both on and offline. Much of the 
research in this area to date focuses on either how political and media 
elites present these issues to citizens, or audience responses to these 
frames. This book takes a different approach by focusing on how issues 
such as the refugee crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic are both 
constructed and deconstructed in an era of hybrid media. It draws on a 
range of traditional and innovative research methodologies to explore 
how these issues are framed as ‘threats’ within deeply mediatized 
societies, ranging from content analysis of newspaper coverage of the 
Macedonian name dispute in Greece to investigating conspiratorial 
communities on YouTube using Systemic Functional Linguistics. In doing 
so, this book enriches our understanding of not only how civil and 
uncivil actors frame these issues, but also their impact on societal 
resilience towards future crises.

/(De)constructing Societal Threats During Times of Deep 
Mediatization/will be a key resource for academics, researchers, and 
advanced students of Communication Studies, Media Studies, Journalism, 
Cultural Studies, Research Methods, Sociology and Politics.

The chapters included in this book were originally published as a 
special issue of/The Communication Review./
