The Mediated CityThe News in a Post-Industrial Context
The News in a Post-Industrial Context
Coleman, Stephen, Thumin, Nancy, Birchall, Chris, Firmstone, Julie, Moss, Giles, Parry, Katy, Stamper, Judith, Blumler, Jay G.
How does news circulate in a major post-industrial city? And how in turn are identities and differences formed and mediated through this circulation? This seminal work is the first to offer an empirical examination, and trace a city's pattern of, news circulation.Encompassing a comprehensive range of practices involved in producing, circulating and consuming 'news' and recognizing the various ways in which individuals and groups may find out, follow and discuss local issues and events, The Mediated City critiques thinking that takes the centrality of certain news media as an unquestioned starting point. By doing so, it opens up a discussion: do we know what news is? What types of media constitute it? And why does it matter?
