Popular Reality Journalism and Popular Culture

This work provides theoretical analysis and historical detail to
reconceptualize the significance of modern journalism from the point of
view of its greatest creation - popular readerships. It traces the links
between journalism, politics and popular culture, showing how liberty,
fraternity and equality are unthinkable without suburbia, sexualization
and kissing. The book also provides a critique of academic and
professional discourses on popular journalism, and provides new bridges
between contemporary journalism and contemporary theory. The work is
illustrated from the popular media new and old.
