Geographies of Journalism is a book that examines the role of geotechnologies, social media, and traditional journalism in shaping our perceptions of different places and their associated social and political issues. The book uses approaches from geography, cultural resistance, and power to highlight the challenges and complications involved in reporting on different places and their socio-political conditions. It argues that journalism, both online and traditional, plays a critical role in how audiences perceive different locales and how responsibility for socio-political issues is attributed.
The book explores themes such as proximity, place, territory, news myth, and placemaking, and examines how these concepts intersect in the digital age. It also discusses how the journalistic process of verisimilitude, storytelling, and evidence collection shapes public perception and interpretation of social and political issues.
Overall, Geographies of Journalism is a valuable resource for scholars across the fields of human geography, journalism, and mass media who are interested in exploring the complex relationship between journalism, power, and place-making in the digital age.
