About this book
When journalists speak about their social function in society and values, they are sharing both their individual knowledge and experiences on their work. Therefore, journalistic values are never isolated ideologies, but exist within the contexts in which they practice. In this book, Sarah Bomkapre Koroma examines the perceptions of journalists on the societal influences that impact their work, ranging from individual, procedural, organizational, political, economic, and many more. Questions explored include:
- What journalism cultures exist in Sierra Leone?
- What effects do societal factors have on these journalistic cultures?
- How do journalists in Sierra Leone describe their roles?
- What epistemological underpinnings do they consider during practice?
- What ethical considerations do the journalists share?
