The Construction of Truth in Contemporary Media Narratives about Risk

The Construction of Truth in Contemporary Media Narratives about Risk

The Construction of Truth in Contemporary Media Narratives about Risk provides a theoretical framework for how in a post-truth era media audiences are able to understand and navigate everyday risk. The book examines media risk narratives and explores forms of truth experiential knowledge and authority. Using the concept of parrhesia to show how we invest trust in various types of knowledge in a changing media environment the book demonstrates how we choose between expert and non-expert information when navigating a seemingly risky world. It considers how news media formats have previously engaged audiences through risk narratives and examines how experiential knowledge has come to hold a valuable place for individuals navigating what we are often told is an increasingly risky and uncertain world. The book also examines the increasingly precarious position of expert knowledge and examines how contemporary truth-games play out between experts and non-experts and considers how this extends into the world of online and social media. This book will be of interest to those researching or teaching in the areas of criminology sociology media and cultural studies and of interest to readers in professional areas such as journalism and politics.

Redefining Sports Media

Redefining Sports Media

This book argues that the examination of sports media within cultural and media studies is organized around more than just a shared topic: mediated sports. What count as sports media in journals books and conferences are extremely diverse; they can cover athlete expression on social media shoe commercials gender in sports commentary Indigenous name change activists and fantasy sports. Besides being mediated and in some cases loosely connected to sports events and leagues it is hard to see what they all share that could serve as the foundation for a unified field of study. Jason Kido Lopez argues that sports media are defined by genre which is reflected in their industries within their content and by their audiences. Throughout the media and cultural complex sports and sports media are built on the genre of live and real competition and therefore to study sports media is to study that genre. Each chapter will explore how the genre is constructed in commodification of mediated sport representation within sports media athlete expression sports fandom and gaming around sports. This book will be of interest to those studying sports media as well as media and cultural studies but also can be used as an introductory survey of the research on sports media from a media and cultural studies perspective. | Redefining Sports Media

Advancing Comparative Media and Communication Research

Advancing Comparative Media and Communication Research

A comparative approach to media and communication research plays an important if not indispensable role in achieving a core mission of researchers: to delimit the generality and specificity of media and communication theories enabling researchers to more readily identify the influence of social political and cultural contexts in shaping media and communication phenomena. To de-Westernize and internationalize media and communication studies has thus become the way forward for overcoming the parochialism of mainstream media and communication studies. This volume reflects on what comparative media and communication research has achieved or failed to achieve the epistemological and theoretical challenges it is facing and the new directions in which it should be heading. | Advancing Comparative Media and Communication Research
