Cross-Border Journalism Research and Practice : an Introduction

Kurzfassung/Abstract

This introduction sets out the rationale of the Handbook, which provides a research-oriented overview of relevant theoretical and methodological approaches to the representation and analysis of cross-border journalism. In doing so, the editors first elaborate the history and development of cross-border journalism, enumerate various terms and concepts, and emphasize the relevance of the topic. The introduction then provides a synopsis of the Handbook’s six sections and 38 chapters, with brief summaries describing what each chapter focuses on and whether it takes more of a conceptual, empirical, or practical standpoint.
