Keywords:
This book documents the unique reporting practices of humanitarian journalists an influential group of journalists defying conventional approaches to covering humanitarian crises.

Based on a 5-year study, involving over 150 in-depth interviews, this book examines the political, economic and social forces that sustain and influence humanitarian journalists. The authors argue that by amplifying marginalised voices and providing critical, in-depth explanations of neglected crises these journalists show us that another kind of humanitarian journalism is possible. However, the authors also reveal the heavy price these reporters pay for deviating from conventional journalistic norms. Their peripheral position at the boundary zone between the journalistic and humanitarian fields means that a humanitarian journalists job is often precarious with direct implications for their work, especially as watchdogs for the aid sector. As a result, they urgently need more support if they are to continue to do this work and promote more effective and accountable humanitarian action.

A rigorous study of how unique professional practices can be produced at the boundary zone between fields, this book will interest students and scholars of journalism and communication studies, sociology and humanitarian studies. It will also appeal to those interested in studies of news and media work as occupational identities.

Recenzijas

"This book offers an in-depth and detailed exploration of humanitarian reporting outside of mainstream news organisations, based on extensive empirical research. It makes a valuable and innovative contribution to the field and one that is better sensitised to the fast-changing media ecology and changing forms of humanitarianism in the world today." Professor Simon Cottle, Cardiff University, UK

"Drawing on a unique 5-year collaboration and over 150 in-depth interviews with practitioners, Scott, Wright, and Bunce document the precarious conditions in which humanitarian journalists do their jobs, analyze how these journalists contribute to accountable humanitarian action, and argue for qualified support from governments and private donors. A must read." Florencia Enghel, Associate Professor in Media and Communication Studies, Jönköping University, Sweden

"Why do journalists sacrifice security to create new professional practices? This empirically rich book, about actors working the interface between journalism and humanitarianism, puts liminal spaces at the centre of inquiry into changing fields of power, and should in turn be put on many reading lists." Professor Alexa Robertson, Stockholm University, Sweden
