The Psychology of Journalism

Coen, S; Bull, P

Abstract

This book provides insights on psychological processes involved in the production, delivery, and consumption of news. At a time when the role and function of news journalism are under intense public scrutiny, this book takes a media psychological approach to explore the role of subjectivity in the construction and meaning-making of news. In particular, the book highlights a process involving the coordinated subjectivities of journalists and audience alike in constructing an account of how research in key areas of psychology (e.g., attention, knowledge, emotions, norms, values, social dynamics, culture, and verbal and nonverbal communication) can contribute to gaining a better understanding of journalism and current affairs.
