Why do we even recognize it as news? A complicated set of cultural, structural, and technological relationships inform this interaction, and \u003ci\u003eJournalistic Authority\u003c\/i\u003e provides a relational theory for explaining how journalists attain authority. The book argues that authority is not a thing to be possessed or lost, but a relationship arising in the connections between those laying claim to being an authority and those who assent to it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMatt Carlson examines the practices journalists use to legitimate their work: professional orientation, development of specific news forms, and the personal narratives they circulate to support a privileged social place. He then considers journalists' relationships with the audiences, sources, technologies, and critics that shape journalistic authority in the contemporary media environment. Carlson argues that journalistic authority is always the product of complex and variable relationships. \u003ci\u003eJournalistic Authority\u003c\/i\u003e weaves together journalists' relationships with their audiences, sources, technologies, and critics to present a new model for understanding journalism while advocating for practices we need in an age of fake news and shifting norms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matt Carlson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231174454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231174459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/23\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2018","brand":"Matt Carlson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119482433791,"sku":"9780231174459","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ceaa286d-8342-4d3c-a68e-a18a7bf3fb8f.jpg?v=1687409587","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/journalistic-authority-matt-carlson-9780231174459","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
