1st edition description:
Global Journalism: Understanding World Media Systems provides an overview of the key issues in global journalism today and traces how media systems have evolved over time in different world regions. Taking into account local context as well as technological change across media industries, the book offers an up-to-date, thorough overview of media developments in all world regions embedded in their unique political, cultural and economic context.
Covering theoretical foundations of global journalism, from the classic Four Theories of the Press to more nuanced media models, this text proposes a framework for studying world media systems. Contributed chapters cover a wide range of topics, including media freedom, global news cultures, professional ethics and responsibilities, and education of global journalists, as well as the role of technology and issues such as fake news, soft power and public diplomacy, foreign news reporting and international news flow.
In a dynamic and rapidly changing media landscape, the second edition of Dimitrova's Global Journalism provides up-to-date information about a wide range of issues including media technology, media impact, cultural impact, disinformation, artificial intelligence, and international news flow from diverse perspectives. It is indeed a welcome addition to the existing literature in global journalism and communication. -- Yahya R. Kamalipour, professor and interim chair, department of journalism & mass communication, North Carolina A&T State University

This moving, discipline-shaping volume provides an updated account on the increasingly evolving global journalism landscape.
