The Routledge Companion to Journalism in the Global South by Bruce Mutsvairo,Saba Bebawi,Eddy Borges-Rey Pdf

Responding to mounting calls to decenter and decolonize journalism, The Routledge Companion to Journalism in the Global South examines not only the deep-seated challenges associated with the historical imposition of Western journalism standards on constituencies of the Global South but also the opportunities presented to journalists and journalism educators if they choose to partake in international collaboration and education. This collection returns to fundamental questions around the meaning, value, and practices of journalism from alternative methodological, theoretical, and epistemological perspectives. These questions include: What really is journalism? Who gets to, and who is qualified to, define it? What role do ethics play? What are the current trends, challenges, and opportunities for journalism in the Global South? How is news covered, reported, written, and edited in non-Western settings? What can journalism players living and working in industrialized markets learn from their non-Western colleagues and counterparts, and vice versa? Contributors challenge accepted "universal" ethical standards while showing the relevance of customs, traditions, and cultures in defining and shaping local and regional journalism. Showcasing some of the most important research on journalism in the Global South and by journalists based in the Global South, this companion is key reading for anyone researching the principles and practices of journalism from a de-essentialized perspective.

Investigative Reporting by David Spark Pdf

This important book defines what investigative reporting is and what qualities it requires. Drawing on the experience of many well-known journalists in the field, the author identifies the skills, common factors and special circumstances involved in a wide variety of investigations. It examines how opportunities for investigations can be found and pursued, how informants can be persuaded to yield needed information and how and where this information can be checked. It also stresses the dangers and legal constraints that have to be contended with and shows real life examples such as the Cook Report formula, the Jonathan Aitken investigation and the Birmingham Six story. David Spark, himself a freelance writer of wide experience, examines how opportunities for investigations can be found and pursued, how informants can be persuaded to yield needed information and how and where this information can be checked. He also stresses the dangers and legal constraints that have to be contended with and shows investigators at work in two classic inquiries: · The mysterious weekend spent in Paris by Jonathan Aitken, then Minister of Defence Procurement · The career of masterspy Kim Philby Investigative Reporting looks at such fields for inquiry as company frauds (including those of Robert Maxwell), consumer complaints, crime, police malpractice, the intelligence services, local government and corruption in Parliament and in overseas and international bodies. The author believes that the conclusions that emerge from this far-reaching survey are of value not only in investigative journalism, but to practitioners in all branches of reporting.

Behind the Lines by Margaret Jones Patterson,Robert H. Russell Pdf

Patterson provides an insight into what happens when an investigative project is undertaken and what roles editors, publishers, and newspapers themselves play. Analyzing six recent, widely-acclaimed investigative stories, the book answers the questions: How did the idea for the story originate? How was the information found? How were the stories written and edited? And, what were the results of the investigation? The author considers ethical dilemmas as well, such as the unattributed sources, the use of deception and misrepresentation, and how reporters must keep personal feelings from interfering with their work. This story of investigative reporting is told through interviews with reporters, editors, and publishers involved in these award-winning series. ISBN 0-3231-06058-0: $28.50.

Spy Interrogations Lead to Investigative Reporting - a Fading Art by Thomas Williams Pdf

I was inspired to write this book after a career as an investigative reporter for The Hartford Courant for more than four decades and then afterward as a freelance newsman. Once I started writing, I couldn't stop. It was simultaneously the most difficult, yet inspiring tasks of my life. Editors, news sources and subjects constantly looked over my shoulder. Fortunately, I was only sued once for liable and ultimately after endless, aggravating days at trial, the newspaper, three of my news sources and I won. Only I researched and wrote that story after months of investigation. That made probes much more intense and nerve wracking than when I worked with wondrous news investigative reporters as partners and full witnesses to the day-by-day interviews and lengthy research. This book is also an autobiographical explanation highlighting scores of inspirations which led to my investigative career in journalism.
