Convergence Journalism: Writing and Reporting across the News Media

For at least a decade, media prognosticators have been declaring the death of radio, daily newspapers, journalistic ethics, and even journalism itself. But in Convergence Journalism—an introductory text on how to think, report, write, and present news across platforms—Janet Kolodzy predicts that the new century will be an era of change and choice in journalism. Journalism of the future will involve all sorts of media: old and new, niche and mass, personal and global. This text will prepare journalism students for the future of news reporting.

Language Contacts in Prehistory: Studies in Stratigraphy

Language Contacts in Prehistory: Studies in StratigraphyEvery language includes layers of lexical and grammatical elements that entered it at different times in the more or less distant past. Hence, for periods preceding our earliest historical documentation, linguistic stratigraphy — the systematic study of such layers — may yield information about the prehistory of a given tradition of speaking in a variety of ways. For instance, irregular phonological reflexes may be evidence of the convergence of diverse dialects in the formation of a language, and layers of material from different source languages may form a record of changing cultural contacts in the past.

W.E.B. Griffin - The Murderers

A narcotics cop is shot dead. A bar owner's wife and partner are gunned down in a robbery. A young women dies of a heroin overdose. All seem unconnected. But these deaths are set to trigger a convergence of corruption, cops, and the mob that could tear the Philadelphia police department apart.

Convergence of Productivity - Cross-National Studies and Historical EvidenceConvergence of Productivity - Cross-National Studies and Historical Evidence

This comprehensive study is a collection of original articles that view the current state of knowledge of the convergence hypothesis. The hypothesis asserts that at least since the Second World War, and perhaps for a considerable period before that, the group of industrial countries was growing increasingly homogeneous in terms of levels of productivity, technology and per capita incomes. In addition, there was general catch up toward the leader, with gradual erosion of the gap between the leader country, the U.S., throughout most of the pertinent period, and that of the countries lagging most closely behind it.

Rome and China - Comparative Perspectives on Ancient World EmpiresRome and China - Comparative Perspectives on Ancient World Empires

These processes of initial convergence and subsequent divergence in Eurasian state formation have never been the object of systematic comparative analysis. This volume, which brings together experts in the history of the ancient Mediterranean and early China, makes a first step in this direction, by presenting a series of comparative case studies on clearly defined aspects of state formation in early eastern and western Eurasia, focusing on the process of initial developmental convergence.
