N2  - "News Culture is an introduction to the forms, practices, institutions and audiences of journalism. It begins with a historical consideration of the rise of 'objective' reporting in newspaper, radio and televisual journalism. It explores the way news is produced, its textual conventions, and its negotiation by the reader, listener or viewer as part of everyday life. The book also examines the cultural dynamics of sexism and racism as they shape news coverage." "This is a key text for undergraduate and postgraduate students in journalism studies, cultural and media studies, sociology and politics."--BOOK JACKET
