Reporting Bad News
«“Whether the news is a motorway accident or an act of terrorism, journalists become central actors in communities of unexpected tragedy. Although much critical attention has been paid to their intrusiveness at times of personal grief, news media can also provide explanation, understanding, and healing. Duncan and Newton approach this challenge with sensitivity and hope, sharing the perspectives of reporters, ethicists, and bereaved family members in order to build a model of ‘ethical participation’—a process that empowers journalists and their subjects, together, to tell the hardest story of all.” Carolyn Kitch, Professor of Journalism at Temple University and co-author of «Journalism in a Culture of Grief»»
Reporting Bad News addresses a gap in the literature concerning death reporting and stories of personal tragedy. Much has been written about disasters and large-scale tragedies, but this research concentrates on individual loss and the relationship between journalist and vulnerable interviewee. Les mer

«“I am sure that Duncan and Newton’s important, massively researched, theoretically rich and highly original text—fired by a clear commitment to ethical and responsible reporting—will prove an invaluable resource for students, teachers and practising journalists for many years to come.” Richard Lance Keeble, Professor of Journalism at the University of Lincoln and Visiting Professor at Liverpool Hope University»
