BOOK OVERVIEW:

The concept of boundaries has become a central theme in the study of
journalism. In recent years, the decline of legacy news organizations
and the rise of new interactive media tools have thrust such questions
as “what is journalism” and “who is a journalist” into the limelight.

Struggles over journalism are often struggles over boundaries. These
symbolic contests for control over definition also mark a material
struggle over resources. In short: boundaries have consequences. Yet
there is a lack of conceptual cohesiveness in what scholars mean by the
term “boundaries” or in how we should think about specific boundaries of
journalism.

This book addresses boundaries head-on by bringing together a global
array of authors asking similar questions about boundaries and
journalism from a diverse range of perspectives, methodologies, and
theoretical backgrounds.

Boundaries of Journalism assembles the most current research on this
topic in one place, thus providing a touchstone for future research
within communication, media and journalism studies on journalism and its
boundaries.
