Studies in contemporary journalism and communication in Russia's provinces
xxii, 206 pages : illustrations, maps ; 25 cm.
This book examines the contemporary communicational practices of journalists and media outlets and the consumption and reception patterns of audiences in Russia's provinces with an emphasis upon the intergenerational transmission of culture and memory. Investigating the interaction and issues of contemporary identity, culture, audiences and journalism in a rapidly changing and evolving Russia, this volume goes beyond the large metropolitan centers into the regions to develop a more comprehensive overview. Despite a popular image that is often projected of Russia as a homogenous, often threatening entity, its regions are very far from being uniform, with diverse, varied geographies, ethnicities, religions, cultures, resources and economic infrastructure. The perspectives offered by a range of scholars and practitioners explore the generational, political and regional diversity that exist across this vast country and analyze local and regional media. Covering topics not often discussed, this volume offers an important contribution for everyone interested in Russian politics, culture, journalism and history and the study of local and regional communication studies.
