Beskrivning
To solve the mystery, Kevin Barnhurst spent thirty years studying news going back to the realism of the 1800s. The usual suspects--technology, business competition, and the pursuit of scoops--are only partly to blame for the fate of news. The main culprit is modernism from the "Mister Pulitzer" era, which transformed news into an ideology called "journalism." News is no longer what audiences or experts imagine. Stories have grown much longer over the past century and now include fewer events, locations, and human beings. Background and context rule instead.
News producers adopted modernism to explain the world without recognizing how modernist ideas influence the knowledge they produce. When webs of networked connectivity sparked a resurgence in realist stories, legacy news stuck to big-picture analysis that can alienate audience members accustomed to digital briefs.

Recensioner i media
"Ambitious and fascinating… A worthy invitation to further research and discussion about the role of journalism in society."--International Journal of Communication"Barnhurst's focus on the forms of news across media in the last century and this one is welcome and fresh. It is closely argued, often subtle and always interesting in its overall hypotheses. . . . It is thoughtful, seasoned and intellectually ambitious work." --Media History "This is a magisterial book, required reading for anyone seriously interested in the recent history or future of journalism. . . . Virtually every chapter has multiple insights worth consideration on their own, and it will, as important books do, generate future scholarship of note."--Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly
