Journalism in a Fractured World addresses the fractured nature of
journalism as it has developed online. Engaging with theories from
journalism studies and politics, it bases its findings on the study of
peripheral journalistic media from the US, UK, and Netherlands. It
addresses the pronounced animosity that has become a feature of
peripheral, political, digital news. Focusing on the metajournalistic
discourses produced by peripheral actors, it develops a framework to
distinguish between peripheral antagonists and agonists. Antagonists
blur lines between news and politics and foment societal divisions
through narratives of backlash, fragmentation, and grievance.
Journalistic agonists, on the other hand, are also political and
critical, but offer a constructive vision of what journalism and
society can become. Journalism in a Fractured World presents theories
and frameworks for engaging with these actors with a clear-eyed
message about the challenges journalism faces and how we might find
our way forward, even in our fractured societies.
