The New Journalism and the struggle for interpretation
Scholarship in literary journalism often focuses on matters of technique and style, and on the ethical challenges of immersion reporting. In some contexts, however, literary journalism may also take on a sense of moral purpose, as when reporters assert the importance of their interpretations, or readers attribute special meaning to a particular style of writing. The New Journalism of the 1960s and 1970s offers a revealing example of how magazine …
Becoming the Second City: Chicago's Mass News Media, 1833-1898
Richard Junger's account of nineteenth-century Chicago will seem warmly familiar to readers who know that city's history, and generally entertaining to those who do not. Junger's book identifies a gap in our knowledge of the press that historians have not adequately filled. Although Chicago's contributions to the American newspaper business are legendary, its press has never attracted the systematic analysis it deserves, in part because of the sh…
James Carey: In Praise of the Popular
Sports Journalism as Moral and Ethical Discourse
This paper explores the marginalized practice of sportswriting to demonstrate the limited ways in which the question “who is a journalist?” has been answered within the profession. Following John Dewey and Raymond Williams, we offer an alternative view of democratic culture that values narrative as well as information. We also discuss how “New Journalists” (and other writers since), in their quest for fresh, sophisticated storytelling strategies,…
Reading Carey Between the Lines
James Carey’s approach to media studies was far-ranging and interdisciplinary. His writings demonstrate the influence of several intellectual traditions, including pragmatism, British cultural studies, American studies, and Catholic social thought. Although his earlier work addressed general issues of media systems and culture, Carey later wrote frequently about journalism, in part because of his interest in the problems of public life in democra…
Yellow Journalism: Puncturing the Myths, Defining the Legacies
Turn to the editorial page of any American daily newspaper. If that paper has covered a controversial issue recently, you will likely find a letter complaining about the paper's sensa-tionalistic “yellow journalism.” How did that term, coined in 1897 to deride the mass circulation dailies of William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, become a commonplace of popular press criticism? What does it mean to call a newspaper “yellow,” and why has tha…
The Myth of ”The Local in American Journalism
The myth of “the local” powerfully informs American journalism's talk about itself. The term local has received less scrutiny than other keywords of the profession, such as objectivity, public, and independence. Yet references to local news figure prominently in many contemporary discussions of newspaper readership, coverage, management, and mission. Different groups interpret the meaning of the local for their own purposes. Ultimately, however, …
The Internet cultural phenomenon: A bonafide curricular theme
Beyond the use of its resources as a research tool, the Internet presents a rich cultural theme for interdisciplinary coursework. In 1996-97, two interdisciplinary courses about and on the Internet were offered at Jacksonville University by four professors from different departments. This paper focuses on the structure, content, and value of, as well as lessons learned from, these virtual courses. Entitled Issues on the Internet, the courses were…

The Great Chicago Fire as a National Event
FOR CHICAGO'S HISTORIANS, WRITERS, AND CITIZENS, THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OF October 8-10, 1871, has always had a clear meaning. Chicagoans have long seen the fire as a watershed, the end of the city's pioneer adolescence and the beginning of its metropolitan adulthood.' Yet the Chicago Fire also once had a wider meaning that has since been lost to us. Chicagoans of 1871 were quick to note that their fire had been a national calamity, not just a lo…
A Critique of Criminology: Toward an Integrated Structural-Marxist Theory of Delinquency Production
Juvenile delinquency is understood as a latent outcome of the social reproduction process of capitalism. A structural-Marxist understanding of contradictory social relations that contour life in modern capitalism allows us to reinterpret and apply the insights from various criminology theories in building a new theoretical approach. A review and critique of the major theoretical perspectives in criminology are provided, and a structural-Marxist p…
