Bringing together contributing authors across six continents, this volume addresses critical questions around conceptualization, theorization, and ethics related to media and journalism research and practice along borders and around the Majority World.In the twenty-first century, notions of borders, globalization/deglobalization, and transnationalism would not be possible without media and journalists/journalism and the research that centers them. Media, large and small, through the work of journalists, yet also through the activities of other types of media producers, such as filmmakers, social media influencers, activists and artists, contribute to the ways in which we understand or sometimes misunderstand the people and places around us and those in distant spaces and environments. The chapters map the spaces in which media and journalism is being redefined, reimagined, and reinvented around the world, and point to lessons learned as well as possibilities for ongoing collaboration. Authors reflect critically on how, by whom, and for whom, news media are created as well as their impacts locally, regionally, nationally, globally, and along various types of borders including geopolitical, cultural, and ideological.This book is an essential companion for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, scholars, journalists and general audience members who are interested in deepening their understanding of the complex media ecosystems in regions across the world.

Featuring contributions from 63 leading scholars affiliated with institutions across all world regions, this foundational volume brings together key debates, conceptual foundations, theoretical and methodological approaches, and major strands of empirical research in the field. By examining the drivers, conditions, and consequences of conflict and crisis reporting across diverse political, social, economic, cultural, and media contexts, this volume highlights convergences and divergences in realities and perspectives. Organized into seven sections, The Companion addresses theoretical and methodological traditions; actors and organizations; influences and sources; routine practices and challenges; content and effects; global commonalities and differences; and future directions in the field. It deliberately moves beyond Western-centric perspectives by examining violent conflicts, hybrid warfare, crisis environments, and forms of reporting that remain underrepresented in much Western media and scholarship. In doing so, the volume makes a genuinely global, comparative, and diverse contribution to the study of conflict and crisis reporting.This collection is an essential resource for researchers, educators, students, and media professionals working on conflict, war, and crisis reporting. It will also be valuable for scholars in related communication disciplines seeking to understand journalism’s role in producing public knowledge about conflict and crisis in a rapidly changing media environment.
