The International Encyclopedia of Journalism Studies, 3 Volume Set

The definitive reference source on journalism studies for students, researchers, and academics

The digital era has seen significant social, economic, and technological change in journalism, invigorating journalism studies as an academic discipline.

The official encyclopedia of the International Communication Association (ICA), this invaluable text includes more than 250 entries that form a comprehensive overview of the study of journalism as a distinct field.

Alphabetically-organized entries are divided into 11 sections, presenting a balanced approach to both the field’s multidisciplinary history and its increasing specialization in the 21^st century. More than an assemblage of general knowledge about journalism, this innovative work raises vital questions that invite ongoing theoretical investigation.
