This book argues that a symbiotic relationship between journalism studies and the industry is needed to help the industry reckon with disruption. It looks at new research developments, challenges, financial survival, and blind spots in the way researchers and journalists do their work. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 272 pages\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 07 October 2021\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxford University Press Inc\u003cbr\u003e\\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is now widely acknowledged that the long-standing economic model upon which the news industry has relied is no longer viable. The emergence of Facebook, Google, and dwindling public trust in the media have played significant roles in this predicament. Concurrently, the closure of local media outlets nationwide has resulted in a lack of access to regional news, exacerbated the distance between media and publics, and further eroded civic engagement. Despite the impending crisis in journalism, a research-practice gap persists within the industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book posits that an often overlooked aspect of the news crisis is a potentially symbiotic relationship between journalism studies and the industry it investigates. As this book argues, scholars must consider their work in a public context, and journalists must actively engage with media scholars and take their research seriously. Including contributions from journalists and academics, Journalism Research That Matters provides journalists with a comprehensive guide on the knowledge they need to excel, while also urging journalism scholars to take action to best support the news industry in navigating disruption.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book delves into emerging research developments related to audience behavior, social networks, and journalism business models. It also addresses the challenges scholars encounter in making their research accessible to the public and journalists, the financial sustainability of quality news and information, and blind spots in the way researchers and journalists approach their work, particularly in terms of race, diversity, and inequality. A concluding section features contributions from journalists offering insights on how researchers can enhance their engagement with newsrooms and media professionals on the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 396g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 156 x 235 x 19 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780197538487\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44100456186106,"sku":"9780197538487","price":24.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/5c1cf1b891ffbdb31c2c088162d194eb.jpg?v=1636431468","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/journalism-research-that-matters","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
