The book outlines ways to<br>overcome the dilemma of providing what people apparently want (attentiongrabbing<br>news features) and delivering what people apparently need (what<br>journalists see as important information) suggesting alternative ways to<br>investigate and become sensitive to the practices preferences and pleasures<br>of audiences and discussing what these research findings might mean for<br>everyday journalism practice.</p><p>The book is a valuable and timely resource for academics and researchers<br>interested in the fields of journalism studies sociology digital media and<br>communication.</p>
