massenmedialen Aufmerksamkeitswettbewerb sowie beobachtbare Personalisierungs- und Boulevardisierungstendenzen der Berichterstattung, die langfristig zu dysfunktionalen Effekten in der Bevölkerung wie einem Überdruss an Skandalen, Abstumpfungseffekten und gesellschaftlicher Instabilität führen können. Die Autorin zeigt aufbauend auf einem strukturell-individualistischen Modell sowie leitfadengestützten Experteninterviews mit Journalisten verschiedener Mediengattungen und Ressorts, wie unterschiedliche interne und externe Bedingungen die Handlungsentscheidung von Journalisten in Skandalsituationen beeinflussen und wie Einzelhandlungen verschiedener Akteure in ihrer Aggregation zu unerwünschten gesellschaftlichen Folgeeffekten führen können. Die Ergebnisse der Arbeit sollen zu einer Versachlichung der Diskussion beitragen und negativen Folgeeffekten zunehmender medialer Skandalisierung durch eine Sensibilisierung der Akteure entgegenwirken.Dark Hearts: The World's Most Famous Horror Writers

Par Xu Yuchen, Yan Xuan, Su Rui, Kou Ying. 2022
Appraisal is the way language users express their attitude towards things, people, behaviour or ideas. In the last few decades,…
significant achievements have been made in Appraisal Theory research, yet little attention has been paid to appraisal in scientific texts, especially in relation to the contrast to how it is applied in English and Chinese. This title examines the similarities and differences of Appraisal systems in English and Chinese scientific research articles. Using a self-constructed corpus of scientific research articles, the authors make cross-linguistic comparisons in terms of the quantity and distribution patterns of categories of appraisals. They creatively categorise articles into theoretical scientific research articles and applied studies and discover that for both languages, each genre can have its own favorite mode of distribution for the realization of appraisal systems. In addition, this research helps appraisal theory systems to become more explicit, specific, and more applicable for the analysis of scientific research articles. Students and scholars of applied linguistics, comparative linguistics and corpus linguistics will find this an essential reference.Reviewing Culture Online: Post-Institutional Cultural Critique across Platforms
Par Maarit Jaakkola. 2022
This book examines how ordinary users review cultural products online, ranging from books to films and other art objects to…
consumer products. The book maps different communities—in institutional and non-institutional settings—which intersect with the genre of review, especially in the social web where reviewing is conducted on platforms such as Instagram, YouTube and Vimeo. The book, drawing on the key concepts of cultural intermediation, platformized cultural production and post-professionalism, looks at user-generated content in lifestyle communities beyond the binary of professional and amateur production.Plurilingual Pedagogies for Multilingual Writing Classrooms: Engaging the Rich Communicative Repertoires of U.S. Students
Par Kay M. Losey, Gail Shuck. 2022
A much-needed resource on plurilingual pedagogies, this book counters the common dominant English-only approach found in writing and composition classrooms…
by identifying practices and pedagogies that support multilingual students. Providing a window into a range of contexts and classrooms where students’ full identities are honored, contributors offer research-grounded strategies and pedagogies that allow students to harness all of their language resources in order to build on their strengths and develop their writing abilities. The specific examples in this book, drawn from high school and college writing contexts, demonstrate the value of embracing linguistic diversity in writing programs. Presenting a wide range of models and strategies from top scholars that center students’ linguistic repertoires as strengths, the volume addresses classroom teaching, assessment, curriculum, school administration, and more, all from an asset-based orientation. This book is ideal for courses in composition and second-language writing pedagogy as well as for students, scholars, and educators in second language writing, language and literacy education, and composition studies.Social Media and Hate (Routledge Focus on Communication and Society)
Par Shakuntala Banaji, Ramnath Bhat. 2022
Using expert interviews and focus groups, this book investigates the theoretical and practical intersection of misinformation and social media hate…
in contemporary societies. Social Media and Hate argues that these phenomena, and the extreme violence and discrimination they initiate against targeted groups, are connected to the socio-political contexts, values and behaviours of users of social media platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, ShareChat, Instagram and WhatsApp. The argument moves from a theoretical discussion of the practices and consequences of sectarian hatred, through a methodological evaluation of quantitative and qualitative studies on this topic, to four qualitative case studies of social media hate, and its effects on groups, individuals and wider politics in India, Brazil, Myanmar and the UK. The technical, ideological and networked similarities and connections between social media hate against people of African and Asian descent, indigenous communities, Muslims, Dalits, dissenters, feminists, LGBTQIA communities, Rohingya and immigrants across the four contexts is highlighted, stressing the need for an equally systematic political response. This is an insightful text for scholars and academics in the fields of Cultural Studies, Community Psychology, Education, Journalism, Media and Communication Studies, Political Science, Social Anthropology, Social Psychology, and Sociology.Scandology 3: Scandals in New Media
Par André Haller, Hendrik Michael, Lucas Seeber. 2021
This book presents research on mediated scandals and substantiates the understanding of such forms of scandals and their impact on…
societies. Additionally, it connects the study of scandals with the broader fields of political communication research, organizational communication, journalism studies, and digital communication research.The authors focus on the 21st century as an age of perpetual scandalization and on digital technologies as a catalyst in this respect. Against this backdrop, the book examines different aspects of the transformation of mediated scandals through digital communication practices.Topics covered include, but are not limited to, the scandalizing potential of new media and the requirement of modified strategies of reputation management and crisis communication in politics, the entertainment industry, and the economic system among others; a different perspective on professional journalism and scandals created through new media; technological infrastructure and digital tools allowing journalists to establish new means to investigate hard scandals, i.e., substantial financial or political wrongdoings by the economic and political elite.The book, therefore, is a must-read for researchers and scholars from different disciplines, as well as practitioners and policy-makers interested in a better understanding of the study of scandals, their impact on societies, and their catalyzation through new media.Stories of Becoming: Demystifying the Professoriate for Graduate Students in Composition and Rhetoric
Par Juliette C. Kitchens, Claire Lutkewitte, Molly J. Scanlon. 2021
Based on findings from a multiyear, nationwide study of new faculty in the field of rhetoric and composition, Stories of…
Becoming provides graduate students—and those who train them—with specific strategies for preparing for a career in the professoriate. Through the use of stories, the authors invite readers to experience their collaborative research processes for conducting a nationwide survey, qualitative interviews, and textual analysis of professional documents. Using data from the study, the authors offer six specific strategies—including how to manage time, how to create a work/life balance, and how to collaborate with others—that readers can use to prepare for the composition and rhetoric job market and to begin their careers as full-time faculty members. Readers will learn about the possible responsibilities they may take on as new faculty, particularly those that go beyond teaching, research, service, and administration to include navigating the politics of higher education and negotiating professional identity construction. And they will also engage in activities and answer questions designed to deepen their understanding of the field and help them identify their own values and desired career trajectory. Stories of Becoming demystifies the professoriate, compares what current new faculty have to say of their job expectations with the realities that students might face when on the job, and brings to light the invisible, behind-the-scenes work done by new faculty. It will be invaluable to graduate students, those who teach graduate students, new faculty, and hiring administrators in composition and rhetoric.Media and the Dissemination of Fear: Pandemics, Wars and Political Intimidation (Global Transformations in Media and Communication Research - A Palgrave and IAMCR Series)
Par Christian Schwarzenegger, Nelson Ribeiro. 2022
This book offers a diachronical and inter-/transmedia approach to the relationship of media and fear in a variety of geographical…
and cultural settings. This allows for an in-depth understanding of the media’s role in pandemics, wars and other crises, as well as in political intimidation. The book assembles chapters from a variety of authors, focusing on the relation between media and fear in the West, the Middle East, the Arab World and China. Besides its geographical and cultural diversity, the volume also takes a long-term perspective, bringing together cases from transforming media environments which span over a century. The book establishes a strong and historically persistent nexus between media and fear, which finds ever-new forms with new media but always follows similar logics.RedakBot
Par Ramón Kadel. 2021
Der Journalismus ist im Wandel – nicht nur aufgrund des Medienstrukturwandels durch Digitalisierung und Internet, sondern auch aufgrund neuer Technologien,…
die erstmals sogar ein Stück weit die Existenzberechtigung des Berufsbilds infrage stellen. Werden Journalisten also durch künstliche Intelligenz ersetzt? Nein! Denn KI im Journalismus ist ein „Frenemy“: Freund und Feind zugleich. Freund, wenn man sich auf den KI-Journalismus vorbereitet, Feind für diejenigen, die ihr Mindset nicht ändern können und die neuen Technologien ausschließlich als Bedrohung sehen. Mit der Lektüre dieses Buches sollen Journalisten und Redakteure sowie Volontäre und Studenten im Bereich der Kommunikationswissenschaften konkrete Ideen im Kopf haben, wie sie sich auf die Zeit des KI-Journalismus erfolgreich vorbereiten. Es regt an, innovativ zu sein, und von den neuen Möglichkeiten, die redaktionelle Bots bieten, zu partizipieren – und schließlich zu profitieren. Die Frage ist nicht, ob „RedakBots“ unsere Arbeitswelt verändern, sondern wann dies passiert. Das Buch bereitet darauf vor.Der Online-Journalismus hat dem Nachrichtenschreiben neues Leben eingehaucht. Mobile User verlangen nach schneller und präziser Information, die Platz auf einem…
kleinen Bildschirm findet. Erfolgreiche Content-Produzenten erinnern sich darum an die „umgekehrte Pyramide“, an Nachrichtenfaktoren und W-Fragen. Sie wissen, wann man Präsens, Perfekt und Imperfekt einsetzt und wie das mit den Konjunktiven funktioniert. Und natürlich haben Sie eine Ahnung davon, wie ein Online-Teaser verfasst werden muss, um Reichweite zu erzeugen.Modernes Nachrichtenschreiben bedeutet aber nicht nur, die um digitale Aspekte erweiterten klassischen Regeln beherrschen und anwenden zu können. Es geht darum, diese Regeln weiterzuentwickeln – und auch einmal lustvoll über den Haufen zu werfen. Mut zu mehr Lebendigkeit und zum professionellen Anderssein wird zum Qualitätsmerkmal. So machen Nachrichten wieder Spaß: beim Schreiben und beim Lesen.Stories Are What Save Us: A Survivor's Guide to Writing about Trauma
Par David Chrisinger. 2021
A seasoned writer and teacher of memoir explores both the difficulties inherent in writing about personal trauma and the techniques…
for doing so in a compelling way.Since 2013, David Chrisinger has taught military veterans, their families, and other trauma survivors how to make sense of and recount their stories of loss and transformation. The lessons he imparts can be used by anyone who has ever experienced trauma, particularly people with a deep need to share that experience in a way that leads to connection and understanding. In Stories Are What Save Us, Chrisinger shows—through writing exercises, memoir excerpts, and lessons he's learned from his students—the most efficient ways to uncover and effectively communicate what you've learned while fighting your life's battles, whatever they may be. Chrisinger explores both the difficulties inherent in writing about personal trauma and the techniques for doing so in a compelling way. Weaving together his journey as a writer, editor, and teacher, he reveals his own deeply personal story of family trauma and abuse and explains how his life has informed his writing. Part craft guide, part memoir, and part teacher's handbook, Stories Are What Save Us presents readers with a wide range of craft tools and storytelling structures that Chrisinger and his students have used to process conflict in their own lives, creating beautiful stories of growth and transformation. Throughout, this profoundly moving, laser-focused book exemplifies the very lessons it strives to teach. A foreword by former soldier and memoirist Brian Turner, author of My Life as a Foreign Country, and an afterword by military wife and memoirist Angela Ricketts, author of No Man's War: Irreverent Confessions of an Infantry Wife, bookend the volume.This book introduces the concept of narrative tradition to study representation in international politics. Focusing specifically on the case of Turkey,…
the book shows how narrative traditions are constructed, maintained, and passed on by a loose epistemic community that involves practitioners and experts including scholars, journalists, diplomats, and political representatives. Employing an interpretative approach, the book distinguishes between four narrative traditions in the study of Turkey: Turkey as a state that is (1) getting lost, (2) standing at a decisive crossroad, (3) led by strongmen, and (4) struggling with a creeping Islamisation.These narrative traditions carry enduring beliefs that not only describe, moralise, judge, and stigmatise Turkey, but also contribute to the idea of the West. The book focuses on knowledge that is produced from a Western perspective, showing that Turkey provides a channel through which the Western self can be debated, challenged, celebrated, and judged.Savage Journey: Hunter S. Thompson and the Weird Road to Gonzo
Par Peter Richardson. 2022
A superbly crafted study of Hunter S. Thompson’s literary formation, achievement, and continuing relevance. Savage Journey is a "supremely crafted"…
study of Hunter S. Thompson's literary formation and achievement. Focusing on Thompson's influences, development, and unique model of authorship, Savage Journey argues that his literary formation was largely a San Francisco story. During the 1960s, Thompson rode with the Hell's Angels, explored the San Francisco counterculture, and met talented editors who shared his dissatisfaction with mainstream journalism. Author Peter Richardson traces Thompson's transition during this time from New Journalist to cofounder of Gonzo journalism. He also endorses Thompson's later claim that he was one of the best writers using the English language as both a musical instrument and a political weapon. Although Thompson's political commentary was often hyperbolic, Richardson shows that much of it was also prophetic. Fifty years after the publication of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and more than a decade after his death, Thompson's celebrity continues to obscure his literary achievement. This book refocuses our understanding of that achievement by mapping Thompson's influences, probing the development of his signature style, and tracing the reception of his major works. It concludes that Thompson was not only a gifted journalist, satirist, and media critic, but also the most distinctive American voice in the second half of the twentieth century.Journalistic Practice: Why science must tell stories (essentials)
Par Martin W. Angler. 2021
Science needs to tell good stories to combat fake news and to communicate complex issues. To do this, there are…
proven techniques, structures, recurring patterns, and elements that no good story should be without. This essential shows why we are wired to respond to stories, how they affect our brains, and what techniques we can use to convey them to every kind of audience, from funders to toddlers.Election Politics and the Mass Press in Long Edwardian Britain (Routledge Focus on Journalism Studies)
Par Christopher Shoop-Worrall. 2022
This book explores the ways in which the emergence of the ‘new’ daily mass press of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth…
centuries represented a hugely significant period in histories of both the British press and the British political system. Drawing on a parallel analysis of election-time newspaper content and archived political correspondence, the author argues that the ‘new dailies’ were a welcome and vibrant addition to the mass political culture that existed in Britain prior to World War One. Chapters explore the ways in which the three ‘new dailies’ – Mail, Express, and Mirror – represented political news during the four general elections of the period; how their content intersected with, and became a part of, the mass consumer culture of pre-Great War Britain; and the differing ways political parties reacted to this new press, and what those reactions said about broader political attitudes towards the worth of ‘mass’ political communication. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of media history, British popular politics, journalism history, and media studies.Writing Assessment and Instruction for Students with Learning Disabilities

Par Tanya Shadrick. 2017
Just days into motherhood, a woman begins dying. Fast and without warning.On return from near-death, Tanya Shadrick vows to stop…
sleepwalking through life. To take more risks, like the characters in the fairy tales she loved as a small girl, before loss and fear had her retreat into routine and daydreams.Around the care of young children, she starts to play with the shape and scale of her days: to stray from the path, get lost in the woods, make bargains with strangers. As she moves beyond her respectable roles as worker, wife and mother in a small town, Tanya learns what it takes - and costs - to break the spell of longing for love, approval, safety, rescue.
