Description:

'In the staid world of journalism research, it is a delight to see an attempt to open that focus of inquiry to new interpretive frames.... this volume takes definitive steps toward achieving that aim' - Popular Communication

Synopsis:

In counterpoint to conventional examinations of images of journalism which tend to concentrate on its informational role in the political process, this book provides a lively analysis of journalism in its other guise - as entertainment.In a series of interrelated studies, the authors examine the theoretical problems in assessing popular journalism and consider common examples of its manifestations - its relationship to media stars, the coverage of sport, and the presentation of news in a `popular' form.
