Book Description
The Psychology of Journalism takes a media psychological approach towards a better understanding of key aspects of news production and reception. Media Psychology is an emerging discipline which is concerned with understanding the interaction between individuals and communication technology. Scholars interested in this area ask questions concerning the way in which communication between individuals is shaped by the media in terms of both its social and cultural characteristics. At a time when the role and function of news journalism are under intense public scrutiny, The Psychology of Journalism explores the psychological processes involved in the production, delivery, and consumption of news. With contributions from an international team of scholars with backgrounds in both media and psychology, the chapters provide theoretical and empirical evidence to better understand why and how journalists and audience alike select, attend, understand, and co-construct meaning from reported events.This book is suitable for students and researchers in Journalism, Media Communication, Political Communication, and Psychology.
About the Author
Review Excellent collection. Recommended. Graduate students and faculty. ― E. B. Easton, CHOICEThis is an impressive academic text, which examines the myriad of ways in which psychology theory and research can contribute to, and deepen, our understanding of both journalistic practice and the process of sensemaking by media consumers. It will be an invaluable resource for academics and students, as well as for practitioners. I recommend it highly. ― Owen Hargie, Emeritus Professor of Communication, Ulster UniversityThis collection of twelve illuminating essays offers a vigorous debate about the role of news journalism in modern society by reviewing theories, research, and evidence in psychology, detailing psychological processes involved in the production, consumption and influence of journalism in a mediated environment. For anyone interested in exploring psychological approaches to news and journalism this book is indispensable. ― Ofer Feldman, Professor of Political Psychology, Doshisha UniversityThis book advances important new arguments about the power of emotion, subjectivity, identity, image and language in the production, consumption and impact of journalism, as well as providing a creative overview of a scattered literature. It will be a really key text for teaching, and a landmark title in the development of the field. ― James Curran, Professor of Communications, Goldsmiths, University of LondonThis timely book breaks the either/or choice between a psychology of framing and selection on the part of journalists and/or a psychology of message impact based on audience factors. Instead, the authors situate the relational dynamics of journalists and their audience along a layered field of psychological-social psychological processes operating within the broader terrain of culture and ideology. ― Regina M. Tuma, Professor of Media Psychology, Fielding Graduate University
