Handbook of Journalism Theories

Originating in a meta-theoretical discourse developed in the German-speaking world more than two decades ago and still evolving today, this book provides comprehensive global insights into theoretical approaches to journalism. It offers a detailed overview of the foundations, trends, key concepts, and central concerns of journalism theory, while also examining journalism’s relationship with other fields such as public relations, politics, religion, culture, and sports. Bringing together more than 60 chapters covering the major dimensions of journalism theory, the volume is both a substantial reference work and a practical resource for teaching and study.
