520 _aFoundations of Community Journalism is the first and only book to focus on how to understand and conduct research in community journalism--an ever-growing field. With chapters written by established journalism scholars and teachers, this book provides students and researchers with a comprehensive understanding of the multiple theories and methods applied to the study of community journalism, including historical, social-scientific, cultural-critical, and interdisciplinary approaches. It explains what community journalism is as a research concept and offers a range of different approaches to community journalism research. Although there are some how-to community journalism manuals, none concentrates on how to conduct research in community journalism--a focus needed in this era of hyperlocal news and social networking. The body of knowledge presented by the authors would take readers months, perphaps years, of independent work to gather, making this book a must-have reference tools for anybody who is interested in the relationships between journalism and communities.
