Tanni Haas Writes New Book on Public Journalism
The Pursuit of Public Journalism: Theory, Practice, and Criticism, a book by Tanni Haas, a Brooklyn College professor and public journalism scholar, has just been released by Routledge. Haas has been one of the most consistent public journalism scholars and this is a one more piece in a long continuum of work on the subject. I personally know that he has been watching the PJNet.org site for months as he has done his research and I have been feeding him names and contacts of new practitioners, especially those from outside the USA, as they write inquiries to me.
I hope to post a review here in the weeks to come. Of course, if anyone else wants to volunteer to do that first. Great. I would love it.
Here is the Table of Contents.
1. The Emergence of Public Journalism 2. A Public Philosophy for Public Journalism 3. The Empirical Research on Public Journalism 4. Scholarly and Journalistic Criticisms of Public Journalism 5. Citizens and Elite Actors in Public Journalism 6. The Consensus Conference Model as a Public Journalism Tool 7. The Practice of Public Journalism Worldwide 8. From Public Journalism to the Public’s Journalism? Bibliography. Index
