The volume is structured around theoretical and empirical approaches to journalism research and covers scholarship on news production; news content; journalism and society; journalism and culture; and journalism studies in a global context. As journalism studies has become richer and more diverse as a field of study, the second edition reflects both the growing diversity of the field, and the ways in which journalism itself has undergone rapid change in recent years.

-
- Methodological issues

- Merits and advantages of the approach/area of study
-
- Limitations and critical issues of the approach/area of study
-
