Spotlight Books

How the Information Ecosystem Works and What Journalists Should Do About It

This book provides journalists and the public with a broad overview of all the ways modern communication technologies and information approaches make it difficult for people to effectively find and interpret information, and what they can do about it.

Form, Format, and Ephemeral Meaning

Brings together a breadth of perspectives addressing media materialities, and their significance to the study of media, culture, and society. Offers new thinking and perspectives on media materialities, including work that explores media materiality, and the past, physical and digital tensions and media materialities in digital games. 32 b&w illus.

The Consequences of Automated Curation for Society
Edited by Tim Dwyer and Derek Wilding

Media Pluralism and Online News reassesses policy ideas of media pluralism in a platformised world. The book analyses how automated curation now shapes visibility of news content with consequences for how citizens become informed. 15 b/w illus.

Digital Platforms and the Press argues that there is a growing risk of a platform-dependent press, which threatens democracies across the world. The book provides the first comprehensive account of how platform dependence manifests across the news media sector. 7 b/w illus. A PDF version of this book is available for free in Open Access: https://openresearchlibrary.org/viewer/61c9d395-19af-4c75-a9c1-b61b494e155b.

Traditions and Innovations

The book focuses on radio and sound docufiction/docudrama through comparative analysis of case studies from BBC Radio and from Radio RAI and Italian independent producers. It explains how radio language in its acoustic dimension allows access to unpredictable layers of truth complementary or alternative to documentary truth.

An Ecofeminist Inquiry
Edited by Martina Topić

Edited collection examining the position of women in context of the political economy of the media. Discusses historically rooted masculinity, sexism, violence, inequality, underrepresentation, dual expectations, and lack of recognition faced by women in the media, looking particularly at gendered newsrooms and who creates the news. 9 b&w illus.

Cinema, Popular Culture, and Identity

This book focuses on the neoliberal self, which, far from being a stable marker of urban, liberal, millennial Indian identity, has a schizophrenic quality, replete with contradictions and oppositions, that belies the narrative of progress and prosperity that has marked mainstream cultural discourse in India. 15 b&w illus.

Intersections of Documentary-Based Film Practice and Theory

This book is a collection of writing by diverse global documentary and non-fiction filmmakers who explore theory through filmmaking. Their hybrid filmmaking practices bridge industry and the academy, questions binaries, builds new connections between theory and practice, and suggests a new turn to marginalized knowledges. 54 b/w illus.

From Global Civilization to Great Civilization (Second Edition)

Additional Prefaces from Theodore Jay Gordon, Hazel Henderson, Randeep Sudan, and new original material in each chapter. Considers impact of Covid-19 and influence beyond health and hygiene, impact on economic, social and geopolitical affairs, and the need to change established behaviour patterns including lifestyle, working practices and diet.

An Oral and Filmic History

This book investigates women's work in Italy between 1945 and 1965 using films, original oral history interviews, and archival sources. It focuses on three sectors: agriculture (rice weeders), fashion (seamstresses), and religious work (nuns) and compares women’s own words with their representation in film. 20 b/w illus.
