About the Book:
The Anthropology of Journalism emerges as a distinctive research interest that investigates news as a form of cultural meaning-making by studying the occupational practices and professionalism among people in the news industry. Anthropology’s contribution to media studies has evolved into detailed ethnographic insights, particularly from editorial offices and daily work routines across different social contexts worldwide.
While journalism was extensively researched in large cities in Western Europe and the US, this book brings attention to the growing number of comparative studies of news professionals globally, allowing for a deeper understanding of the diversities and variability in the globally-distributed production of media.
This book stands as the first ethnographic study of vernacular journalism in India, focusing on Lucknow journalists in the late 1990s. It examines how journalism reflects, and is inscribed within, the processes of cultural globalization, modernity, and political imagination in contemporary Indian society. By providing a closer look at a profession that shapes and is shaped by societal contexts, it offers invaluable insights into the intersection of global media trends and local narratives.
