Online Journalists: Foundations For Research Into Their Changing Roles, Jane Singer
Online Journalists: Foundations For Research Into Their Changing Roles, Jane Singer
Jane B. Singer
Interactive media have grabbed the attention of communication researchers in the latter half of the 1990s, but the focus to date has been primarily on media audiences and their use of these new forms. This paper suggests four approaches that may help provide theory-based underpinnings in a different area: the study of journalists and the ways in which their roles and jobs are changing. The approaches are gate-keeping theory; diffusion of innovation theory; sociological perspectives, particularly those involving the sociology of news work; and a somewhat eclectic perspective that explores the idea of journalism as a potential force of cohesion …

On The Relevance Of Standpoint Epistemology To The Practice Of Journalism: The Case For "Strong Objectivity", Meenakshi Durham
On The Relevance Of Standpoint Epistemology To The Practice Of Journalism: The Case For "Strong Objectivity", Meenakshi Durham
Meenakshi Gigi Durham

Just as much fun was veteran Vass, who also showed a terrific collection: the multicolor tweed hand-knit coat with fox collar, gray ottoman drawstring trousers, multicolor tweed basket sweater and coordinating hand-knit hat; the claret cashmere hooded sweater with multi-herringbone long bias skirt; the taupe boucle hand-knit balaclava sweater, taupe zip-front skirt and brown boucle "christopher robin" hat.

Lots of roomy relaxed sweaters, coats and jackets played with narrow skirts and lean trousers, the body-conscious knitwear paired with more generous tubular pants and the new flared skirt. [...] with Kors, you can't have too much cashmere - whether double-face, felt or big knit ribs. Who else would embrace such a mix of rich colors and bold patterns and make it all work?
