Journalismus

Journalism. The textbook and handbook by Stephan Russ-Mohl, now co-authored by Tanjev Schultz, is published in its fourth edition - updated and thoroughly revised. The book primarily focuses on the practice and craft of journalism, while also incorporating insights from journalism and media research when they are useful and broaden perspectives. It explores the dramatic changes in the profession without succumbing to trendy hype.

The book illustrates how network-based research and communication forms are transforming everyday journalism. It not only teaches modern journalistic presentation styles but is also richly illustrated, utilizing the design possibilities of cartoons, infographics, and text design to create reading incentives, facilitate reader guidance, and present extensive material in an appetizing manner. Short pro and con texts on controversial topics are intended to stimulate independent thinking.

Designed after American models, the textbook is easy to read but, above all, informative. It should be read by anyone looking to establish themselves in journalism, including trainees, journalism students, and students of communication or media studies. Additionally, it is also useful for professionals - whether as a reference manual for targeted consultation or as a means to reflect anew on their own field and ensure awareness of the current state of discussion.
