Given the ongoing scramble to restrict cross-border flows and proclivity to look inwards, it is encouraging to find a book that asks us to think about the global and that offers resources for doing so. Not only does this volume remind us of the value of researching communication at the global level, it also sets out to address the timely problem of accounting for technological change, promising that the impact on “all aspects of global journalism” of the explosive growth of new communication technologies is “interwoven throughout the book” (p. xi). While 15 of the 22 contributors are based in the United States, some have their roots in other places (they are referred to as “representing” 12 countries), and the 17 chapters draw on an exemplary number of illustrations from and research on a broad range of states. The book is replete with information and some of the chapters offer erudite syntheses of scholarly literature in the field. Each chapter ends with a boxed set of discussion questions, some of which are quite useful. For example, the questions at the end of Chapters 5, 10, and 11 stand out as suitable for honing student skills at reading critically and analytically. The volume is described at the outset as “an all-encompassing textbook” for upper level undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses on global journalism, international communication, world media systems, foreign news reporting, global communication, and media and globalization. There are a few considerations to bear in mind when using it in such settings, however.

书评:全球新闻:了解世界媒体系统,Daniela V. Dimitrova(主编)

鉴于限制跨境流动的持续争夺和向内看的倾向,找到一本要求我们思考全球并为此提供资源的书令人鼓舞。这本书不仅提醒我们在全球层面研究传播的价值,它还着手解决及时解决技术变革的问题,承诺全球新闻业的爆炸性增长对“全球新闻业的各个方面”的影响新的通信技术“贯穿全书”(第 xi 页)。虽然 22 位撰稿人中有 15 位在美国,但有些则在其他地方扎根(他们被称为“代表”12 个国家),17 章借鉴了广泛的插图和研究状态范围。这本书信息丰富,其中一些章节提供了该领域学术文献的博学综合。每章都以一组讨论问题结束,其中一些非常有用。例如,第 5 章、第 10 章和第 11 章末尾的问题非常适合磨练学生的批判性和分析性阅读技能。这本书一开始就被描述为“一本无所不包的教科书”,供高年级本科生和研究生学习全球新闻学、国际传播、世界媒体系统、外国新闻报道、全球传播、媒体和全球化课程。但是,在此类设置中使用它时需要牢记一些注意事项。每章都以一组讨论问题结束,其中一些非常有用。例如,第 5 章、第 10 章和第 11 章末尾的问题非常适合磨练学生的批判性和分析性阅读技能。这本书一开始就被描述为“一本无所不包的教科书”,供高年级本科生和研究生学习全球新闻学、国际传播、世界媒体系统、外国新闻报道、全球传播、媒体和全球化课程。但是,在此类设置中使用它时需要牢记一些注意事项。每章都以一组讨论问题结束,其中一些非常有用。例如,第 5 章、第 10 章和第 11 章末尾的问题非常适合磨练学生的批判性和分析性阅读技能。这本书一开始就被描述为“一本无所不包的教科书”,供高年级本科生和研究生学习全球新闻学、国际传播、世界媒体系统、外国新闻报道、全球传播、媒体和全球化课程。但是,在此类设置中使用它时需要牢记一些注意事项。这本书一开始就被描述为“一本无所不包的教科书”,供高年级本科生和研究生学习全球新闻学、国际传播、世界媒体系统、外国新闻报道、全球传播、媒体和全球化课程。但是,在此类设置中使用它时需要牢记一些注意事项。这本书一开始就被描述为“一本无所不包的教科书”,供高年级本科生和研究生学习全球新闻学、国际传播、世界媒体系统、外国新闻报道、全球传播、媒体和全球化课程。但是,在此类设置中使用它时需要牢记一些注意事项。
