The Routledge Companion to Media and Scandal brings together, in one volume, different concepts used in analysing various dimensions of scandals so as to understand media practices and journalism in different countries and cultures.
The distinctiveness of the companion is that it encompasses a variety of subject areas: Communication, Media, Journalism Studies, Law, Sociology, Cultural Studies, International Politics, Criminology. The chapters are theoretically pluralist and take various historical and critical approaches to provide an understanding of mediated scandals. The companion is therefore both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary. Individual essays examine universal principals of scandal making and also culturally specific ideas allowing for varying perspectives and international comparisons.
The Routledge Companion to Media and Scandal is divided into five parts:
Part I Key concepts in media and scandal studies
Part II Political context and media dynamics of scandals
Part III Scandals and journalistic practices
Part IV Themes and settings of media scandals
Part V Consequences and legacies of media scandals
With contributions from both leading and emerging scholars, The Routledge Companion to Media and Scandal is essential reading for students and academics in journalism, media studies and communication.
