Journalism practice and critical reflexivity / Bonita Mason.

"Journalism Practice and Critical Reflexivity is a theoretical and analytical study of the crisis in mission and credibility in journalism studies that is heightened by online and social media, offering new approaches and models for critically reflexive journalism research, practice and education. With specific theoretical and conceptual approaches employed such as Pierre Bourdieu's reflexive sociology along with the analytical, practice-based, reflective and narrative techniques of Donald Schön and autoethnography, this book provides possible responses to crises of credibility and legitimacy, and to transformations, in western corporate journalism. With journalists working in corporate media under increasing pressure, the book considers the possibility of either slowing journalism down or having elements of a more reflexive journalism practice set alongside other routine practices. Scholars and practitioners of journalism, researchers and post-graduate students interested in journalism, critical reflexivity and reflective practice in relevant disciplines can apply the concepts and techniques of critical reflexivity in their own research or teaching. Journalists, criminologists and others concerned with Indigenous deaths in custody, prisons, the institutional duty of care, social or legal justice and effective government administration will also find the study rewarding"-- Provided by publisher.
