Journalism After September 11

<p><strong>Praise for the first edition: <br><br>This collection of essays comes mainly from academics but nobody should bridle at theorists lecturing practitioners. They properly challenge the way September 11th was reported - in a way that's both an endorsement of the role of the media and a wake-up call on its failures . . . anyone interested in our trade should read it.'</strong><em> - Roger Mosey Ariel</em><strong>'A thoughtful and engaging examination of the effects of 9/11 on the field of journalism. Its unique aim is to discuss the impact of the attack as a personal trauma and its current and future effects on journalism and the reporting of the news. . . highly recommended.'</strong> <em>- Library Journal</em></p><p><em>Journalism After September 11</em> examines how the traumatic attacks of that day continue to transform the nature of journalism particularly in the United States and Britain. Familiar notions of what it means to be a journalist how best to practice journalism and what the public can reasonably expect of journalists in the name of democracy were shaken to their foundations. </p><p>Ten years on however new questions arise regarding the lasting implications of that tragic day and its aftermath.</p><p>Bringing together an internationally respected collection of scholars and media commentators <em>Journalism After September 11</em> addresses topics such as: journalism and public life at a time of crisis; broadsheet and tabloid newspaper coverage of the attacks; the role of sources in shaping the news; reporting by global news media such as CNN; Western representations of Islam; current affairs broadcasting; news photography and trauma; the emotional well-being of reporters; online journalism; as well as a host of pertinent issues around news democracy and citizenship.</p><p>This second edition includes four new chapters – examining Arabic newspaper reporting of the attacks the perceptions of television audiences national magazine coverage of the ensuing crisis and the media politics of ‘othering’ – as well as revised chapters from the first edition and an updated Introduction by the co-editors.
