Abstract

This chapter serves as an introduction to the handbook’s Part One titled Conceptual Foundations. It wades into issues of journalism as a discipline. It provides five perspectives which together form the basis on which the other three parts are built. It includes five chapters whose content dwells on a variety of concepts and theories as well as related journalism practices, with presentations on how theories can help improve practice. The content of this part covers the following topics: a review of foundational contemporary literature, the role of algorithmic news, news, and environmental education, normative values journalists subscribe to globally, and a theoretical framework to unravel news.
