Journalism remains a vital, irreplaceable institution in the public sphere, even though technology, political and economic trends, and globalization continue to impact it in negative ways.

An Introduction to Journalism is the new go-to textbook for journalism studies. Organized around three thematic sections – structures, practices, and change and continuity – this textbook covers a broad range of issues central to the study of journalism. These include the nature of news as a socio-cultural construct; the impact of social forces (political, economic, technology, cultural) on journalistic practices and news content; the origin and the impact of journalistic norms, values, and ideologies; patterns of news access and consumption; the relation between journalism and public life; and the role of the press in democracy and authoritarianism. Taking a global perspective throughout, the textbook is grounded in the conviction that we need to examine developments across countries and regions, and understand how global forces shape news, journalism, and the news industry.
 
Supported by extensive examples and clear case studies throughout, this accessible textbook, written by a leading scholar in the field, provides a comprehensive and analytical survey of the key themes that shape journalism. It is essential reading for undergraduate students of journalism studies.

Silvio Waisbord is Professor of Media and Public Affairs at George Washington University.
