Drawing on work from media scholars and practitioners, this book is the first collection to examine how theory and practice can be combined for a positive effect.

Abstract
This note calls for a brand of research to investigate hacks and leaks and their role in shaping public opinion and influencing the mainstream news media landscape. Hacks and leaks have become a major source of information for the news media. However, we still lack the tools to assess and measure the phenomenon in a systematic, predictive, concise and coherent manner.

Abstract
This article analyses a special case to illustrate paradigmatic rectification in news production that took place at the turn of the century. The special case concerns Tony Burman, a former head of Canada's CBC and former managing director of the global news channel Al Jazeera English. Burman drew the journalistic community's attention through 'editorial remedies' that saw the emergence of a special way of news coverage rarely practised by mainstream western media. Burman's news model holds that all people or actors involved in an event determined newsworthy are equal and matter to the story in the same way regardless of their power. This article examines Burman's news model as a shared mindset among members of a 24/7 news organization, focusing on the principles of objectivity, event and news values.

This editorial note focuses on why practitioners complain about academic writing. It starts with how important it is for media and journalism academics to write lively and in a lucid way to be clearly understood by their peers and the people they research. It highlights research about the correlation between the way we think and the way we write. It provides a few samples of what the author sees as poor academic writing. It discusses the impact digital and free and open access publishing is having on academic content and writing. It ends with a few suggestions.

Abstract
The Journal of Applied Journalism and Media Studies is a scholarly publication that seeks to bridge the gap between theory and practice in media and journalism research. This editorial emphasizes the need to develop a praxis-oriented approach to deal with the questions we face during our ethnographic encounters with those we research; it sheds light on the new editorial arrangements introduced at the start of 2014; it discusses the issue of how to relate theory to practice; it examines why the gap between those who practise and those who theorize is still so wide; it touches on the type of learning most appropriate for media and journalism research; and it ends with a conclusion about the type of research the journal wants to promote in order to accomplish its praxis-oriented mission.

Abstract
This note focuses on the deliberations from a two-day international conference at Sweden's Jönköping University in October 2013. The theme was 'Towards a praxis-based media and journalism research'. The conference dwelt on the epistemological and methodological underpinnings to which the Journal of Applied Journalism and Media Studies (AJMS) adheres, particularly its applied or praxis niche. The note starts with a short background and then considers the major concerns voiced by practitioners attending the conference about much of the research media academics carry out. It then presents a synopsis of the response of the participants to two major questions: (1) Why do media practitioners generally discard or not trust findings by media scholars? (2) Are media scholars under any obligation to relate their theories to practice? It ends with the lessons that academics can draw from the way practitioners view their world and assess their research.

Abstract
This article lays down the conceptual and methodological underpinnings the Journal of Applied Journalism and Media Studies seeks to advance. It positions the journal and its keyword 'applied' within the main schools of thought and philosophical deliberations that have characterized research in mainstream social science. It traces the term and its development as it first emerged in the treaties of ancient Greek philosophers down to modern thinkers such as Emanuel Kant, Jürgen Habermas, Max Horkheimer, Karl Marx, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Robert Brandom, Richard J. Bernstein and John Dewey. It seeks to carve a conceptual and methodological niche for the journal and steer the path for its future growth and development in the realm of media and journalism studies. It recommends special streams for future praxis-based media research and how the gap between media theory and media practice is to be bridged.

In this editorial we reflect on the first ten years of our journal's mission to bring together voices from the Global North and Global South as a platform for scholars and practitioners to discuss and debate the key issues affecting journalism. We acknowledge the great vision and work of our founding editor, professor Leon Barkho, who is stepping down in his role as principal editor. He has developed and implemented the ideas that have shaped our journal and who championed cultural diversity and gender balance as reflected in our editorial board, from the outset. Stepping up to the role of main editor, Jairo Lugo-Ocando talks about the powerful legacy of the journal in making important and critical contributions to academic debates and practitioners' work and then explains how we will meet the challenges that lie ahead. We outline our continued commitment to a robust peer-review process, a refresh of our editorial board with younger faces to renew and connect the journal to new trends and areas from the emerging scholarship. We highlight a series of Special Issues that will add to our unique collection and focus on specific themes and our intention to relaunch a prize for best article submitted, in conjunction with a major partner. We introduce the six articles for our latest publication bringing together a selection of themes and authors that opens a series of discussions in new areas.

The Journal of Applied Journalism & Media Studies celebrates a decade of disseminating original research that advances the understanding of journalism and media studies from a practical and applied perspective – not only for academics, but also to journalists, media practitioners, media owners and scholars. Our role continues to foster dialogue and exchange while underpinning academic collaboration and thus this edition brings together groundbreaking works from across different regions, providing a convergence point for both North and South dialogue and exchanges.

This editorial note provides a short overview of the journal as it ushers in its second decade of publishing. It highlights the remaining gaps in the literature of praxis-based studies in the realm of journalism and media research and what needs to be done to address these. It lays down the theoretical and praxis-based foundations for the journal and a road map for the future type of submissions the journal encourages as it celebrates its inclusion in Q2 of the 'Communication' category on Scopus and commences its second decade of publishing. The note calls for a shift of focus to the top of journalistic and media practice and identifies the areas in which more research is needed within the realm of praxis-based theory and methodology. It concludes with a set of research questions for future submissions in line with the journal's thrust and interrelated dimensions.

« This book examines the deeper meaning of the advent of the Al Jazeera Media Network with regard to ongoing debates on global communication ethics, not only in the global public sphere but also in terms of its influence on new non-Western approaches to media ethics. Rather than simply calling for international perspectives on media ethic is a unique and significant addition to the literature on the topic. The book investigates whether Al Jazeera's vision, mission, and operations are actually inspired by the New World Information Order debates over contra-flow and hegemony. Further, the book identifies ways of developing new non-Western approaches to global communication ethics, as it suggests injecting more cosmopolitanism in global news reporting and commentary. « (Verlagsbeschreibung)
