This will be a touchstone work for decades to come.

- Henrik Örnebring, author of <i>Newsworkers: A Comparative European Perspective</i>,
This book provides a kaleidoscopic overview of journalism around the world. Its organization and execution provides a model for comparative research, and its findings raise important questions that are sure to orient future scholarship. Already well-regarded by colleagues, this publication solidifies the Worlds of Journalism project as a leading effort to make sense of the complex realities that journalists around the world confront today.
- Matthew Powers, University of Washington,
One of the key elements of this anthology is an effort to make journalism studies truly global and comparative. This book succeeds on multiple fronts: it provides a comprehensive analysis of the various and competing strands of research in journalism studies, empirically covers the vast geography of journalism practices, and gives us a blueprint of how to analyze and understand such practices. I recommend this book for its scope and theoretical execution. It is a must-read for all journalism scholars.
- Shakuntala Rao, author of <i>Indian Journalism in a New Era</i>,
<i>Worlds of Journalism</i> is ample proof of the diversity of journalistic cultures around the globe and an excellent example of a truly collaborative study. It provides fascinating insights into the attitudes and values of media personnel beyond the western world. The book is a must-read in journalism research.
- Barbara Pfetsch, editor of <i>Political Communication Cultures in Western Europe: Attitudes of Political Actors and Journalists in Nine Countries</i>,
[An] exceptionally fine book.
- Jay G. Blulmer, University of Leeds, Journal of Mass Communication
A tactfully coherent discussion of its findings, drawing on an extensive amount of data to question normative expectations of journalism culture and highlight rich differences in perspectives from around the world.
