Journalism in the Anthropocene

Reviews / Votes

'Much of our current approach to journalism was developed at the turn of the previous century, during the great age of industrialisation and urbanisation. As we deal with the environmental impact of the forces unleashed during that period, it's time we rethink what journalism is, and can be. Combining training and perspectives from Sociology, Science and Technology Studies and Media, Dominic Hinde provides an excellent roadmap for this process.' Robert Gioielli, KTH Environmental Humanities Lab 'Blending sociology, urbanism and visual culture, Dominic Hinde deals with two interrelated crises: the future of journalism, and the future of the Anthropocene. He adroitly sets the scene, explores the necessary history and theory, and takes the reader through a series of rich case studies. Lucid, lively and highly original, it's essential reading for anyone concerned with our collective future, and how we want it represented.' Richard Williams, University of Edinburgh
