Management is a subject of growing importance to media executives. The expectation that editors be good team players & participate more fully in overall management challenges them to become competent managers without sacrificing their traditional editing roles. The truth is that media executives spend a large share of their time dealing with human behavior. NEWSROOM MANAGEMENT introduces a framework for managing others. It is a useful reference that lays out theories & strategies for resolving the issues that confront executives in every media organization. This book can be an important resource for the executive who seeks a larger understanding of how to manage human behavior. "This is a book no newsroom should be without. The good editor will make it required reading for the next bright reporter promoted to assistant city editor. Even veteran senior editors, who think experience has taught them everything they need to know, will find this book a valuable guide & resource."--Bulletin of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. "The value of NEWSROOM MANAGEMENT to the sensitive & progressive newsroom manager cannot be overestimated."--WASHINGTON JOURNALISM REVIEW.

The time is right for bright, aggressive newspaper managers to influence and prosper, but bleak indeed for those newspapers whose managers lack the requisite knowledge. Using case studies and examples from the business, Fink shows why some newspapers change with the times and surge ahead and why some continue to publish to an eroding market base and fail. The difference between success and failure, he concludes, is in "long-range planning and in daily operating methodology—in, simply, the professionalism of management at all levels."

The political economy deals with the structure of production and the social relations of people in production. With its focus on structures and practices, the political economy also analyzes the contradictions of capitalism and suggests resistance and intervention strategies using methods from history, economics, sociology, and political science. The dominant commercial media in capitalism operates both as a product of economic and political structure and as an industrial institution with economic and political functions. Current Theories and Practice in the Political Economy of Communications and Media is a collection of innovative research on new approaches in the political economy of communication in the process of globalization. While highlighting topics including consumer behavior, news production, and public relations, this book is ideally designed for newscasters, broadcasters, journalists, marketers, advertisers, production managers, researchers, industry professionals, academics, and students seeking to extend the border of standard political economy of communication studies into relatively undiscovered areas.
