Journalism and Ethical Praxis
The importance of high-quality, ethically sound journalism in sustaining a healthy democratic and deliberative public sphere is well established. However, recent trends suggest a lack of public trust in journalism (Fink 2019. “The Biggest Challenge Facing Journalism: A Lack of Trust.” Journalism; OECD 2024. Survey on Drivers of Trust in Public Institutions—2024 Results) coupled with a range of online challenges to ethically sourced news warrant a…

Journalism History
This chapter attempts to break new ground in developing an overview of the historiography of journalism. It considers some of the foundational texts of journalism history from various methodological and national contexts, and highlights the challenges and limitations of digitization as a spur to contemporary approaches. Journalism had existed in practice if not in name for several centuries before there were consistent attempts to chart its histo…

How the war made the mirror
We should remember that one war had already made the Daily Mirror given that it reached its zenith as an illustrated daily newspaper as it emerged from the First World War. However, this did not translate into continuing success as by the 1930s it was in steep decline. Re-launched in the mid-1930s, to appeal specifically to what may be described as the non-political left, the Daily Mirror was able to reinforce its editorial identity as a populist…

What Is Journalism? The Art and Politics of a Rupture
Journalism and the Democratic Market Society
This paper argues for the continuing relevance of Michael Schudson’s historical approach to journalism. It probes links with Schudson’s insistence on the centrality of the cultural contexts of journalism’s reception, which allow us to appreciate the ways in which his work has prompted historicizations of journalism to move from mere chronology into areas rich for interdisciplinary investigation, such as the economic underpinnings of news, the rel…

Core Blighty? How Journalists Define Themselves Through Metaphor
Journalism has long relied on certain core metaphors in order to express its claims to social and political usefulness. The deployment of metaphors to describe a practice that in contrast asserts its truth-telling and plain prose style is in itself interesting. Since metaphor acts as a powerful indicator of presuppositions it can be used to reify complex public discourses, reducing them to common-sense thinking. This paper explores what metaphors…

It is Nobbut (Only) an Oligarchy that Calls Itself a ‘We’”
The period between 1880 and 1900 was rich with discussions of the role of both journalists and journalism in Britain. Not only did the period witness the intensification and systematization of technologies associated with the gathering and dissemination of news but it was also a time when journalists were beginning to identify themselves collectively and professionally. The technological developments and corresponding professional reassessment pr…
Judith Rowbotham, Kim Stevenson, and Samantha Pegg. Crime News in Modern Britain
A historian, a lawyer, and a legal historian combine their energies and insights to provide this impressive longitudinal account of what has long been one of the staples of modern news content. It might be subtitled “the rise and fall of crime reporting” as it outlines the growth in importance of crime reporting as an adjunct of open democratic process in Britain and its long postwar decline. The book is well structured editorially with clear int…

Celebrity journalism – An oxymoron? Forms and functions of a genre
Debate about the ideal content or purpose of journalism is as old as print itself. The messy characteristics of popular culture have always intruded into the high principles and purposes of the communication of politics and journalism’s intentions to provide information of importance for the public. In the intensity of the contemporary media era it is necessary to reconsider the interplay between celebrity news and journalism: beyond oxymoron and…

The Future of Newspapers
To what extent can we disassociate the technology and economics of newspapers from their political and cultural functions? Many of the latter functions have survived previous eras of technological change, often with a heightened promise of a more democratic engagement with readers and a subsequent amelioration of civic communication.

Journalism history—a debate
In this exchange, Mark Hampton and Martin Conboy debate the best approaches to researching and writing journalism history. In the first essay, Hampton, taking as his starting point Conboy's 2010 agenda-setting article, “The Paradoxes of Journalism History”, argues that journalism history should be more deeply integrated within broader cultural, political, and economic historiographies, and that media history is key to this task. In the second ess…
Morbid Symptoms
This paper argues that despite an appearance of rupture, journalism is in an era of good fortune. While it would be both premature and historically naïve to point at a new “golden era”, there is reason to see a strengthening of journalism's sense of core responsibilities emerging from the challenges and opportunities which new technologies present. With an eye towards journalism's history as a force with the potential to feed contemporary debate,…

From “We” to “Me
In 1886, in “The Future of Journalism”, W. T. Stead expressed the view that it was the “personal touch” in newspapers that would transcend the vapidity of a hypothesized “we”. Nevertheless, it was to be the ability of newspapers, exploiting his own pioneering take on the New Journalism, to articulate a plausible version of a collective voice which was to dominate the journalism of the mass market of the twentieth century. A refinement of the lang…

The Discourse of Location
This article examines the recent rise in popularity of German film, in particular comedy, with German cinema audiences. This trend contrasts sharply with negative reviews from cinema critics while being in line with the agenda of popular directors and certain conservative politicians. The article examines what may be deduced about the place of such a cinema in the rearticulation of a specifically German national-popular culture and how this may i…

The Daily Mirror and the Creation of a Commercial Popular Language
It has long been acknowledged that the Mirror's transformation from middle-class to working-class newspaper after 1934 was effected to a large extent through its astute identification of a language which could communicate its journalism to a new market. This language has been explored with particular intensity during the period of the Second World War and the post-war period when the paper rose to both political as well as commercial prominence. …
