"This is the book that so many journalists and engaged observers of
news media have been waiting for. Journalism in Context seamlessly
interweaves theory and practice, and in so doing, brilliantly
succeeds in bridging the worlds of professional journalism and
academia. In clear and cogent language, amply illustrated with
interviews and real-world examples, Phillips opens up new ways of
understanding and improving contemporary journalism at a moment of
crisis."Rodney Benson, Department of Media, Culture, and
Communication, New York University "Angela Phillips deftly
considers the roles of flesh-and-blood journalists within the
context of the structural factors that influence how journalism is
practised. Not only does this stimulating book help us understand
what’s going on in journalism, it challenges us to find ways of
making it better – because journalism matters."Tony Harcup,
Department of Journalism Studies, University of Sheffield

"Accessible and analytical, this is an admirable book that makes a
valuable addition to the academic study of journalism and one which
should be widely read by both students and journalists." Daya
Thussu, Professor of International Communication, University of
Westminster, London, UK"This interesting volume provides a European
perspective—which is welcome after more than a decade of the
frankly boring…Silicon Valley claims for progress in the digital
age…[and] offers fresh evidence for widely known trends, including
the sloppiness of blogs and audience-generated content (fringe is a
good term here) in contrast with the reliability of print...
