Journalism in Crisis: Bridging Theory and Practice for Democratic Media Strategies in Canada

摘要

We live in exciting and challenging times for democratic media reform. Converging technological, institutional, socio-political, and economic developments threaten the field of journalism-but also provide opportunities for engaged actors to look to theory, policy, and practice for historic lessons as well as emerging solutions. Such is the premise of this excellent collection of essays, Journalism in Crisis: Bridging Theory and Practice for Democratic Media Strategies in Canada, on the present "critical juncture" (McChesney, 2007) faced by democratic media in Canada and beyond.
