You Don't Belong Here: How Three Women Rewrote the Story of War
by Elizabeth BeckerThe long-buried story of three extraordinary female journalists who permanently shattered the barriers to women covering war. Kate Webb, an Australian iconoclast, Catherine Leroy, a French daredevil photographer, and Frances FitzGerald, a blue-blood American intellectual, arrived in Vietnam with starkly different life experiences but one shared purpose: to report on the most consequential story of the decade. At a time when women were considered unfit to be foreign reporters, Frankie, Catherine, and Kate challenged the rules imposed on them by the military, ignored the belittlement of their male peers, and ultimately altered the craft of war reportage for generations. In You Don&’t Belong Here, Elizabeth Becker uses these women&’s work and lives to illuminate the Vietnam War from the 1965 American buildup, the expansion into Cambodia, and the American defeat and its aftermath. Arriving herself in the last years of the war, Becker writes as a historian and a witness of the times. What emerges is an unforgettable story of three journalists forging their place in a land of men, often at great personal sacrifice. Deeply reported and filled with personal letters, interviews, and profound insight, You Don&’t Belong Here fills a void in the history of women and of war.
Erzählen über Gesellschaft: Eingeleitet und herausgegeben von Reiner Keller (Neue Bibliothek der Sozialwissenschaften)
by Howard S. BeckerHoward S. Becker zählt zu den wichtigsten US-amerikanischen Soziologen der Gegenwart. Sein umfangreiches Werk umspannt weit mehr als ein halbes Jahrhundert und steht in der Tradition der interaktionistischen und interpretativen Soziologie, wie sie an der University of Chicago in den 1920er Jahren begründet wurde. Becker hat nicht nur höchst einflussreiche Schriften u.a. zur soziologischen Methodologie, zur Soziologie der Professionen, des Abweichenden Verhaltens und der Kunst vorgelegt, die allesamt zu Klassikern wurden, sondern gehört auch zu den frühen Pionieren und Wegbereitern der soziologischen Auseinandersetzung mit visuellen und anderen künstlerischen Ausdrucksformen. Der vorliegende Band präsentiert nun zum ersten Mal in deutscher Sprache seine umfassenden vergleichenden Reflexionen dazu, was das soziologische „Erzählen über Gesellschaft“ mit anderen, künstlerischen Erzählformaten gemeinsam hat - und was es davon unterscheidet. Sein leidenschaftliches Plädoyer für eine präzise Soziologie verbindet sich darin disziplinüberschreitend mit einer anregenden Diskussion von künstlerischen Formen der Darstellung gesellschaftlicher Phänomene und den vielfältigen Möglichkeiten, die sich daraus auch für die soziologische Phantasie ergeben, ihre Erzählungen über Gesellschaftliches nicht nur diesseits, sondern vor allem auch jenseits ihrer kanonisierten Formate vorzustellen.

by Bernd BeckertInteraktives Fernsehen ist seit Mitte der 90er Jahre immer wieder Gegenstand medien- und regulierungspolitischer Debatten.

Public Service Broadcasting and Media Systems in Troubled European Democracies
by Charlie Beckett Eva PołońskaThis book provides the most recent overview of media systems in Europe. It explores new political, economic and technological environments and the challenges they pose to democracies and informed citizens. It also examines the new illiberal environment that has quickly embraced certain European states and its impact on media systems, considering the sources and possible consequences of these challenges for media industries and media professionals. Part I examines the evolving role of public service media in a comparative study of Western, Southern and Central Europe, whilst Part II ventures into Europe’s periphery, where media continues to be utilised by the state in its quest for power. The book also provides an insight into the role of the European Union in preserving the independence and neutrality of public service media. It will be useful to students and researchers of political communication and international and comparative media, as well as democracy and populism.

Communicating Knowledge (Working Methods for Knowledge Management)
by Denise Bedford Ira Chalphin Karen Dietz Karla PhlypoThe communication of knowledge is a core concept in the field of knowledge management and an essential new role and responsibility of business managers. Knowledge capital is the primary source of wealth and the key source of productivity in the knowledge economy. Stockpiling and storing knowledge diminishes its value. It is only through circulation that our knowledge capital realizes its business value. Communicating Knowledge addresses essential management practices in the 21st-century knowledge economy. It speaks to the change that every organization is experiencing as they transition from an industrial to a knowledge organization. The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened an awareness of communications practices in the past year, with communication norms and behaviors being challenged at every level. How we communicate, when we communicate, with whom we communicate, and what we communicate is currently undergoing a global reform. Communication competencies are no longer desirable qualities in managers - they are essential. This book is intended for business managers working at all levels, knowledge management practitioners and scholars, communications professionals, practitioners, and consultants.

The Discourse of News Values: How News Organizations Create Newsworthiness
by Monika Bednarek Helen CapleThe Discourse of News Values breaks new ground in news media research in offering the first book-length treatment of the discursive construction of news values through words and images. Monika Bednarek and Helen Caple combine in-depth theoretical discussion with detailed empirical analysis to introduce their innovative analytical framework: discursive news values analysis (DNVA). DNVA allows researchers to systematically investigate how reported events are "sold" to audiences as "news" (made newsworthy) through the semiotic resources of language and image. With an interdisciplinary and multi-methodological approach, The Discourse of News Values analyzes authentic news discourse (both language and images) from around the English-speaking world through three new case studies: one that analyzes newsworthiness around the topic of cycling/cyclists; another that analyzes news values in images disseminated by news media organizations via Facebook; and a third that focuses on news values in "most shared" news items. Introducing readers to the possibilities of both DNVA and corpus-assisted multimodal discourse analysis (CAMDA), The Discourse of News Values brings together corpus linguistics and multimodal discourse analysis in a stimulating and unique book for researchers in Linguistics, Semiotics, Critical Discourse Analysis and Media/Journalism Studies.
