Abstract

“News Tending” is a critical study of the landscape in which live journalism exists and thrives. By connecting her research on the Federal Theatre Project in the United States with the work done in community-based live journalism, Jordana Cox provides a study of two parallel worlds separated by decades of history and suggests a new language for this form of public engagement journalism.
