(Journalism Insights) 1st Edition
by Rosie Findlay (Editor), Johannes Reponen (Editor)
This
collection surveys the key debates and issues that currently face
fashion journalism, going beyond traditional print media to consider its
multiple contexts and iterations in an ever-evolving post-digital media
environment.
Bringing together a diverse range of contributors, Insights on Fashion Journalism
explores the characteristics, complexities, shifts and specificities of
the field. The book is organized into three sections, mapping fashion
journalism’s established and emerging practices and exploring its
parameters from mainstream to marginal. Section One focuses on the
complex relationships between those who practice fashion journalism, the
fashion industry and the media context in which they operate; Section
Two considers the ways in which fashion journalism responds to the
socio-political and cultural contexts in which it is created, as well as
the impact these contexts have on tone, content and style; and Section
Three investigates how language is employed in different media.
Approaching
fashion journalism through a critically diverse lens, this collection
is an asset for academics and students in the fields of fashion studies,
journalism, communication, cultural studies and digital media.
