Journalism Practice and Critical Reflexivity

<p><em>Journalism Practice and Critical Reflexivity</em> is a theoretical- and practice-based response to the crisis of mission and credibility in journalism studies that is heightened by online and social media. It describes analyses and offers new approaches and models for critically reflexive journalism research practice and education. </p><p>With specific theoretical and conceptual approaches employed such as Pierre Bourdieu’s reflexive sociology along with the analytical practice-based reflective and narrative techniques of Donald Schön and autoethnography this book provides possible responses to these crises of purpose and legitimacy and to transformation in Western corporate journalism. With journalists working in mainstream media under increasing pressure the book considers the possibility of either slowing journalism down or having elements of a more reflexive journalism practice set alongside other routine practices. It proposes reciprocity as a core value to guide much investigative and news journalism.</p><p>Scholars and practitioners of journalism researchers and post-graduate students interested in journalism critical reflexivity and reflective practice in relevant disciplines can apply the concepts and techniques of critical reflexivity in their own research or teaching. Journalists criminologists and others concerned with Indigenous deaths in custody prisons the institutional duty of care social and/or legal justice and effective government administration will also find the study rewarding.</p>
