Beskrivning

Narrative Theory in Journalistic Practice provides innovative analytical frameworks for examining journalistic narratives in today’s digital, multimodal media landscape. The volume expands beyond traditional models focused on linear texts to address contemporary formats across multiple platforms.Through empirical analyses of genres such as immersive long-form stories, live news reports, social media news, podcasts, and still images, the book explores the dual function of journalistic narratives: they are suited to engage readers in both trivial and complex events and issues, but will also advance certain interpretations of reality and downplay others. The book conveys a critical and constructivist view on narratives, showing how journalistic stories contribute to shaping people’s understanding of reality but also how media users play an active role in interpreting the narratives.The volume will interest students and scholars of journalism, media studies, and narrative studies. It is intended for use by graduate students as well as by established researchers.

Recensioner i media

“Narrative Theory in Journalistic Practice, edited by Yngve Benestad Hågvar, Harald Hornmoen, and Jørgen Alnæs of Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet), provides clear and practical theoretical concepts and methodological approaches to make sense of journalistic storytelling and narratives in the ever-changing media landscape.”-- Jessy De Cooker, Lecturer and PhD candidate, Journalism Faculty, Fontys University of Applied Sciences, Netherlands“I recommend Hågvar, Hornmoen, and Alnæs’s book because it situates narrative journalism within the TikTok age and provides everyday examples that make concepts easier to understand. The book does an exceptional job of explaining concepts and can serve as a valuable read for students and scholars of journalism who wish to expand their knowledge of narrative journalism.”-- Phylix Akorfa Asilevi, Marquette University/University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA
