| Summary |
"Even the most fair-minded journalists can find it difficult to get past cultural stereotypes. The ability to see through stereotypes with fair and accurate reporting is becoming imperative in today's shrinking global community. Journalism Across Cultures will help journalists and future journalists better serve their audiences by increasing their understanding of the diverse communities they cover. This text is aimed both at working media professionals and students in international or cross-cultural journalism courses. It provides a comprehensive overview of journalism issues across lines of race, culture, gender, age, and ideology." |
