Reviews

“Grounded in robust primary data, collected through a rigorous mixed-method research design and guided by Bourdieu’s theory of action, this book provides fresh understanding of the dynamics of the periphery and what it means to be on the margins of journalism. Unveiling layers of periphery within the context of a post-socialist and post-transitional media system, often overlooked in dominant Westernised study of journalism, this book provides a fresh and insightful perspective. This rich and insightful contribution directs our attention to the important but often under researched margins of journalism, and as such it contributes to a wider understanding of what it means to be a journalist.” —Professor Agnes Gulyas, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK.
