Journalism Across Boundaries

Journalistic activity crosses national borders in creative and sometimes unexpected ways. Drawing on many interviews and newsroom observation, this book addresses an overlooked but important aspect of international journalism by examining how journalists carry out their daily work at the transnational and regional transborder level.

.'This is probably the most thorough and nuanced study of transborder journalism to date. Drawing on in-depth interviews with journalists, as well as analysis of journalistic content and scholarly literature, this book explores the uneasy relationship between transnational and transborder journalism in detail and offers 'a glimpse into the future of Europe's border-transcending regions and the future of transnational and transborder journalism both within Europe and more broadly around the globe.'' David H. Weaver, Roy W. Howard and Distinguished Professor Emeritus, School of Journalism, Indiana University

'The interviews with past and present journalists working in this transborder environment provide readers with pragmatic and ground-level perspectives. Grieves's approach is original, using the geographic congruence of Germany, France, and Luxembourg to tell a story that is broader than a single news organization, a single language or a single region. This volume deals with an emerging reality in the journalism profession as authorities relax many borders not just within the EU and as authorities in other instances tighten them.' Eric Freedman, associate professor of Journalism, Michigan State University
