TaRC member Svetlana Pasti is a co-author of four chapters in the new book Beyond Journalistic Norms: Role Performance and News in Comparative Perspective, published October 8, 2020 by Routledge.
The book, edited by Professor Claudia Mellado from the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaíso in Chile, brings together scholars from Western and Eastern Europe, North America, Latin America, and Asia, reporting findings based on data collected from democratic, transitional, and non-democratic contexts to produce thematic chapters that address how journalistic cultures vary around the globe, specifically in relation to challenges that journalists face in performing their journalistic roles.
TaRC member Svetlana Pasti, Researcher and Adjunct Professor at Tampere University has co-written a chapter with Edson Tandoc Jr., Patric Raemy and Nikos Panagiotou on journalistic role performance taking a news-story-level approach and another chapter with Agnieszka Stępińska, Gabriella Szabó, Mireya Márquez-Ramírez, and Nikos Panagiotou on journalistic role performance taking a societal-level approach.
She also contributed to two more chapters in the edited volume. One represented a descriptive overview on mapping professional roles in news content cross-nationally while another, the final chapter of the book, represented empirical lessons on role performance in the news.
Beyond Journalistic Norms contests and challenges pre-established assumptions about a dominant type of journalism prevailing in different political, economic, and geographical contexts to posit the fluid and dynamic nature of journalistic roles.
Congratulations to Svetlana on the publications in this ground-breaking global comparative study!
