Topik: Journalism Fulltext: 245.full.pdf (158.24KB) Isi artikel Since the development of modern journalism, there has been a strong current of critical thought that sees it as a homogenizing force, seeking to bring its readers together in a false uniformity, and playing down, neutralizing or concealing social conflict. Such a force is regarded as detrimental to the range of views and plurality of exchange that is vital to democracy. This raises the question as to how conflict can be represented and whether it is possible to develop forms of journalism that are decentring. The alternative tendencies in journalism of unifying and decentring are Géraldine Muhlmann’s concern. What is especially welcome about her book is that she investigates these two options through a comparative history of journalism. She deals with British, French and American journalism, and her time frame for tackling them is roughly the past century or so, following the emergence of the ‘new journalism’. The initial chapter sets the stage by enlarging on the differences between unifying journalism and journalisms that decentre. The remainder of the book is given over to a series of case studies.
