Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has made globally visible our worldwide interconnectedness as well as the multifarious range of interrelated problems pertaining to health inequality, economic uncertainty, human rights, and collective emotional and physical shock [Watson et al., 2020]. The latitude of the Covid-19 emergency has reminded us of the crucial role that journalists can play for individuals and society, but also of the importance of providing economic support to news providers especially in times of crisis [Olsen et al., 2020]. This book brings scholars from areas that have long been characterized by social and political instability to discuss what it takes to teach journalism in conditions of instability, risk, and restraint. We hope to demonstrate that it is perhaps this struggle and the many contradictions that journalism educators are caught up with that make the pedagogy of journalism in the Global South a disciplinary area in its own right that deserves more attention and integration in contemporary debates about Western-dominated journalistic and educational paradigms. The authors put under scrutiny journalism education in Bangladesh, China, Egypt, Mexico, Philippines, Slovenia, and Turkey.
