Built using the renowned, hands-on Missouri Method, this textbook prepares readers to write about and communicate with people of different backgrounds, offering real-world examples of how to practice excellent journalism and strategic communication that takes culture into account.
No matter the communication purpose, this book will help readers engage with difference and the concept of fault lines, and to identify and mitigate bias. It provides guidance on communicating the complexity inherent in issues such as crime, immigration, and sports, as well as how meaning is created through data and language choices that craft stories and strategic campaigns for communities. Above all, the book encourages readers to reconsider assumptions about race, class, gender, identity, sexual orientation, immigration status, religion, disability, and age, and recognize communicators’ responsibilities in shaping national and international discussions. This new edition addresses recent significant cultural events (e.g. George Floyd’s murder, the COVID-19 pandemic and attacks on DEI), U.S. Supreme Court decisions, and adds a new chapter (Chapter 12) on Visual Communication and Artificial Intelligence.
A fantastic introduction to this complex but important field, this book is perfect for students, teachers, and early career communicators. The combination of a hands-on approach and pull-out boxes with the diverse voices curated by editors María E. Len-Ríos and Earnest Perry make this an ideal text for the classroom and beyond.
María E. Len-Ríos is Professor and Associate Director at the Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of Minnesota, USA. Across her 25-year career, she has researched how journalists and public relations professionals represent and communicate about health, inequality, and identity.
Earnest L. Perry Jr. is Professor and Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research at the Missouri School of Journalism, University of Missouri, USA. His research explores the role of the Black Press in the long struggle for civil rights and equality in the U.S. He helped develop the cross-cultural journalism course at Missouri, which began in 1998 and was one of the first of its kind in the country.
