The Oxford Encyclopedia of Journalism Studies

The Oxford Encyclopedia of Journalism Studies takes stock of the evolving field of journalism, summarizing the development of major themes of research, revisiting key concepts and traditional forms and genres of journalism in light of contemporary developments, and to setting out directions for future research. It reflects the breadth and depth of contemporary journalism studies and acknowledges the rich history of the field. The encyclopedia also recognizes the global diversity in and around journalism in term of practices, normative frameworks, epistemologies, and others, and takes a globally comparative perspective throughout the volume. It is written to the highest international standards and at the same time is accessible for practitioners, advanced students, and other stakeholders with a particular interest in journalism and journalism research. The encyclopedia is available as a thematic print collection. All of the articles also appear online as part of the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Communication.
