{"product_id":"9781412945998","title":"News Values","description":"In a world of rolling bulletins and converging multimedia platforms, where broadcast news is increasingly considered another element of show business, what is 'news'? Brighton and Foy analyse and fundamentally reappraise the industry, by contrasting the current scene with the news value system codified by Galtung and Ruge more than four decades ago.\u003cp\u003eDetailed chapters include critiques of existing theories, plus close study of newspapers, radio, television and internet news channels. There are also informative chapters on the many factors that shape the news we read, watch and hear, including the role of the citizen journalist, usergenerated content, spin doctors, and the new wave of press barons. Further chapters provide detailed analysis of the way in which the same story is treated across different media channels, and how journalists and editors work to keep breathing new life into rolling news stories. Providing a sound theoretical framework, detailed critical analysis and illustrative examples, this new book is vital reading for all students of today's media landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul Brighton is Principal Lecturer and Head of Media and Dennis Foy is Senior Lecturer in Creative and Professional Writing and Media at the University of Wolverhampton  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SAGE Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47026752454896,"sku":"9781412945998","price":132.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781412945998","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
