Studying journalists in changing times: Understanding news work as socially situated practice
Industry insiders and media academics often voice unease about the transformations taking place in the global news industry. Despite its usefulness in drawing attention to the twists and turns of organizational change and innovation in news production, much of the research on this topic shows less interest in journalists’ situated experience than is helpful. This article suggests that academic attention might be usefully refocused to the changing…
Studying the Sociology of Journalists: The Journalistic Field and the News World
This article makes a case for a socially situated and theoretically sophisticated approach to the sociological study of journalists. This is urgently needed for us to understand the increasingly complex news production environment and the rapidly evolving nature of journalistic practice. Two theoretical approaches to studying the sociology of journalists are outlined and discussed. The first is a development of Pierre Bourdieu's field theory; the…
Accomplishing Journalism: Towards a Revived Sociology of a Media Occupation
This article sets out a case for a revived sociology of media work. It suggests that a certain sociological approach, neglected for some time, offers the promise of (a) providing a more rounded sociological account of journalistic practice that (b) will help us better understand what journalists do and how and why they do it, (c) will ultimately help us better understand the process of news production and message creation, and (d) may have wider …
Breakfast, Time, and “Breakfast Time”: Television, Food, and the Household Organization of Consumption
What is occurring in practice worldwide, under the aegis of postmodern capitalism, is the increasing colonization of the times and spaces of people's everyday lives for the purposes of media audiencehood. But this process shouldn't be mistaken, in theory, as encompassing our “whole way of life,” not even in the postmodern world. Unless we succumb to the fallacy of conceiving modernity as a one-dimensional, totalized reality, then, we must remain …

Do church-sponsored projects assist development
L'étude a porté sur les initiatives prises par les Eglises protestantes pour la plupart en Asie, Afrique et Amérique latine et qui ont fait l'objet d'une recommandation pour financement de la part du Conseil Oecumé nique des Eglises.

The Origins of the Synthetic Alkali Industry in Britain
Heavy chemical industry in its modern sense originated with the linking together of the manufacture of sulphuric acid and the synthesis of soda alkali from common salt. This integration did not come suddenly into being with the emergence of Nicolas Leblanc's classical process, but took place hesitantly alongside anciently established procedures for extracting alkali from the ashes of land and maritime plants. During the latter half of the eightee…
