---- with apologies for cross-posting ---- Colleagues may be interested in the publication of this new book, edited by Elfriede Fürsich and myself Travel Journalism: Exploring Production, Impact and Culture Edited by Folker Hanusch and Elfriede Fürsich Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan ISBN 9781137325976 £60.00 US$95 Website http://www.palgrave.com/page/detail/travel-journalism-folker-hanusch/?k=9781137325976&loc=us Travel journalism has experienced enormous growth over recent decades, with a record number of media organizations now involved in producing information for tourists in one way or another. Correspondingly, journalism and media scholars have begun to pay more attention to this phenomenon. This book gives a comprehensive overview of the burgeoning field of travel journalism studies. The contributors explore travel journalism in newspapers and magazines, on television and online, across a wide range of national and cultural contexts. Individual chapters provide critical discussions of theoretical approaches, present studies of production, content and impact, and explain how travel journalism can be understood through the lenses of postcolonialism, sustainability and cosmopolitanism. This fascinating account offers a thoroughly international and interdisciplinary perspective on an increasingly important field of journalism scholarship. Table of Contents 1.
