Media Sociology and Journalism

Discover the thought-provoking insights of Media Sociology and Journalism by Greg Nielsen, published by Anthem Press in 2023. This hardback edition spans 220 pages and delves into the complexities of modern journalism amidst the challenges posed by alt-right movements and post-truth ideologies. Nielsen offers a critical examination of how professional journalism often overlooks the most vulnerable members of society, failing to engage with them as part of its intended audience.

Through a dialogical critique, this book explores the divisions within news media, politics, and contemporary sociological theory, proposing alternative pathways for a more inclusive and responsible journalism. Ideal for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the intersection of media and society, Media Sociology and Journalism invites readers to rethink the role of journalism in a fragile democratic landscape.
