and tertiary level

Citizen in Communication, the
Re-visiting traditional, new and community media practices in South Africa
N HYDE-CLARKE (EDITOR)
The Citizen in Communication is a compilation of contemporary, accessible material from reputable academics with an interest in the South African media, and the changes that are currently impacting on the public’s ability to engage with it. The book addresses two vital sections of the communication landscape in South Africa. Firstly, it introduces notions and practices of citizen journalism, a growing trend in which civilians provide media footage, blogging and SMS commentary. Secondly, it looks at the prevalence and effectiveness of community media, as well as the challenges such media face on a day-to-day basis. The text explores the scope and effectiveness of two alternative forms of communication that in theory are designed to allow for the ‘voiceless’ citizenry to express their opinions and experiences.
KEY FEATURES
• To enhance active learning practices, each chapter starts with key terms and concepts
• South African examples are provided to show relevance and the applicability of theoretical frameworks
• To assist with the consolidation process, each chapter ends with topics/ questions for discussion and suggested further reading.
SUITABLE FOR
• Third- and fourth-year students studying Communication, Media Studies and Journalism.
• Essential reading for anyone with an interest in the relationship between the members of a society and the media that reports on it.
