[Commlist] new book: What am I doing here?

New book

“/What am *I* doing here?/ ” – a new book on First Person Journalism

You can do it! You can tell journalistic stories in the first person 
appearing with a visible and active self in the story. In fact, in some 
situations this can elevate your journalism and engage readers, 
listeners and viewers. But when and why? Which stories will be better 
with an active self and how do you go about it?

These questions are answered in the anthology /What am I doing 
here?/ Through analyses and examples, a range of journalists and 
scholars explore when, why and how a visible 'I' can improve a 
journalistic story across genres, media types and platforms.


The book presents different types of first-person narrators and the 
dilemmas that can arise in, amongst others:

  * feature and reportage
  * investigative reporting
  * the profile story
  * ghostwriting
  * essays and memoirs
  * audio stories
  * digital stories
  * ethnographic journalism
  * the personal photograph

/What am I doing here?/ is a hands-on textbook designed to inspire 
journalists, editors and other communicators to a well-considered and 
qualified use of 'I'.
