Reviews
""Över's compelling examination of the declining watchdog role of the media in Turkey explains why and how journalists forfeit their role as a fourth estate and become complicit in authoritarian turns. This is a must-read for journalists and anyone interested in understanding these dynamics in countries around the world."" --Jennifer Earl ""professor of sociology and criminal justice at the University of Delaware"" ""A key part of the erosion of democracy is the collapse of media independence, something we should all worry about. Boundaries That Divide is a focused, chilling examination of how this happened in Turkey, a leader in the process."" --James M. Jasper ""author of The Art of Moral Protest: Culture, Biography, and Creativity in Social Movements"" ""Över offers a detailed account of Turkey's political and journalistic transformations between 2007 and 2016. Drawing on interviews with journalists and analysis of pivotal political events, the book examines the erosion of journalistic autonomy through the lens of professional relationships, group identities, and emotional dynamics. A useful guide for anyone interested in the sociology of journalism."" --Bilge Yesil ""author of Talking Back to the West: How Turkey Uses Counter-Hegemony to Reshape the Global Communica""
