In this book Lev Manovich offers the first systematic and rigorous theory of new media. He places new media within the histories of visual and media cultures of the last few centuries. He discusses new media's reliance on conventions of old media, such as the rectangular frame and mobile camera, and shows how new media works create the illusion of reality, address the viewer, and represent space. He also analyzes categories and forms unique to new media, such as interface and database.
Manovich uses concepts from film theory, art history, literary theory, and computer science and also develops new theoretical constructs, such as cultural interface, spatial montage, and cinegratography. The theory and history of cinema play a particularly important role in the book. Among other topics, Manovich discusses parallels between the histories of cinema and of new media, digital cinema, screen and montage in cinema and in new media, and historical ties between avant-garde film and new media.
Reporting for the Media
Now in its eighth edition, Reporting for the Media continues its
outstanding tradition in journalism education. Providing both students
and instructors with a firm foundation on which to build journalistic
success, it emphasizes the most important skills and characteristics of
effective reporters--how to be engaged in and curious about the world
and how to articulate a good story. Reporting for the Media, 8/e,
introduces students to news writing and reporting by focusing on such
basics as grammar and mechanics, traditional story structures and
styles, interviewing techniques, reporting on speeches and meetings,
and common ethical dilemmas. Taking into consideration the increasingly
multimedia nature of journalism, this new edition includes material on
broadcast writing and convergence. It also covers prewriting, using the
Internet, and computer-assisted reporting. The eighth edition features
new exercises in nearly every chapter, expanded coverage of
grammar--including parts of speech--and thoroughly updated real-life
examples and illustrations, many covering issues that have arisen since
9/11. As in previous editions, this book features reading lists,
discussion questions, suggested projects, five useful appendices, and
end-of-chapter checklists. Reporting for the Media, 8/e, is an ideal
text for introductory news writing and reporting courses.
