<p></p><p>This landmark book is concerned with the civil power of the news. This power can be seen in the ways the news engages with public sentiment through a focus on three invariant civil concerns: identity, legitimacy and risk. The book analyses how news stories engage with these concerns to make civil and anti-civil judgements, which influence public sentiment and determine the boundaries we place and maintain around the society we live in. Through historical and contemporary examples of this boundary shaping and maintenance, <i>The Civil Power of the News </i>presents a bold and original account of the architecture of news, the influence it has on our conceptions of civility, and, ultimately, the power it wields. </p><br><p></p>

This landmark book is concerned with the civil power of the news. This power can be seen in the ways the news engages with public sentiment through a focus on three invariant civil concerns: identity, legitimacy and risk. The book analyses how news stories engage with these concerns to make civil and anti-civil judgements, which influence public sentiment and determine the boundaries we place and maintain around the society we live in. Through historical and contemporary examples of this boundary shaping and maintenance, <i>The Civil Power of the News </i>presents a bold and original account of the architecture of news, the influence it has on our conceptions of civility, and, ultimately, the power it wields. <div><br></div>
<p>Presents an original conceptual framework to examine how news exercises its civil power by making civil and anti-civil judgements</p><p>Explores how the news interprets our invariant civil concerns of who we identify with, what we regard as legitimate and what risks we think we face</p><p>Examines how civil and anti-civil judgements are influenced by commercial and political power</p><p>Concludes with a detailed empirical analyses of a fascinating case study based on a new research template that demonstrates how the news exercises civil power</p>
<i>The Civil Power of the News</i> is an extraordinary work, one that deserves to be widely read, widely discussed, and widely reviewed. Jackie Harrison advances a new model of how journalism can create but also undermine civil-democratic power. She illustrates this rigorous conceptual argument with an empirically rich and morally compelling case study of Victorian crime that reads like a detective novel. (Jeffrey C. Alexander, Lillian Chavenson Saden Professor of Sociology, Yale University, USA)<p>“Original in its conceptualization … sophisticated in its methodological approach … with a glimmer of hope for the civil potential of journalism.” (María Luengo Cruz, Associate Professor of Journalism, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain)<br></p>
