Recensioner i media

Johnson-Cartee provides a well-researched and extensively documented summary of decades of research. Combining narrative theory with newsgathering techniques, she provides more theory than most practitioners generally read and more application than most theorists are likely to encounter—a useful mix that can serve as a model for other authors. The book's perspective—that news is a social construction of reality—is well illustrated. . . . Highly recommended.
