Ruth Moon: Authoritarian Journalism, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

What happens to journalism when its credibility has been decimated and journalists no longer believe in themselves? Can the journalism field reinvigorate itself, either from within or with assistance from global journalism actors? This book examines journalism practice in Rwanda to draw conclusions applicable to journalism fields everywhere. Drawing on seven months of fieldwork, Ruth Moon argues that, not only is the force of globalization inadequate to shift practice in a local context, but it in fact serves to reinforce local practices and boundaries, highlighting the limits of globalization to effect change.
