Sažetak
The university textbook “The Dynamics of News: Journalism in the 21st-Century Media Milieu” is the latest monograph by Richard M. Perloff, Professor of Communication, Political Science, and Psychology at Cleveland State University. Through 11 informative chapters, the author discusses the varied determinants of news, how it is shaped by the larger society while at the same time serving as an agent of change, how it fits into the networked digital sphere, as well as changing normative perspectives. The book synthesizes many perspectives and offers a creative combination of historical and contemporary analysis of news, people, and society. It covers a wide range of topics – the classic theories of what news should do, popular myths of news, the overarching forces involved in contemporary news gathering, critical economic determinants of news and social system influences, and innovative trends in journalism. It carefully dissects the key aspects and delivers a critical yet hopeful assessment about the present and the future of news that can help students and scholars to evaluate the multitude of changes in the contemporary and evolving information environment.
