E. B. Easton, CHOICE
This is an impressive academic text, which examines the myriad of ways in which psychology theory and research can contribute to, and deepen, our understanding of both journalistic practice and the process of sensemaking by media consumers. It will be an invaluable resource for academics and students, as well as for practitioners. I recommend it highly.
Owen Hargie, Emeritus Professor of Communication, Ulster University
This collection of twelve illuminating essays offers a vigorous debate about the role of news journalism in modern society by reviewing theories, research, and evidence in psychology, detailing psychological processes involved in the production, consumption and influence of journalism in a mediated environment. For anyone interested in exploring psychological approaches to news and journalism this book is indispensable.
Ofer Feldman, Professor of Political Psychology, Doshisha University
This book advances important new arguments about the power of emotion, subjectivity, identity, image and language in the production, consumption and impact of journalism, as well as providing a creative overview of a scattered literature. It will be a really key text for teaching, and a landmark title in the development of the field.
James Curran, Professor of Communications, Goldsmiths, University of London
This timely book breaks the either/or choice between a psychology of framing and selection on the part of journalists and/or a psychology of message impact based on audience factors. Instead, the authors situate the relational dynamics of journalists and their audience along a layered field of psychological-social psychological processes operating within the broader terrain of culture and ideology.
