In addition, given research questions that implicitly or explicitly conclude with policy implementation, studies have tended to analyze materials prior to the passage of legislation with little attention paid to subsequent reporting. This monograph examines magazine coverage of patent medicines before and after the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 became law. Patent medicines, which appeared in the form of cure-alls, headache remedies, and soothing syrups, emerged long before the federal government regulated substances such as morphine and cocaine, and nostrums often included these substances in addition to alcohol. Near the turn of the 20th century, magazine journalists began to draw attention to the hazards associated with patent medicines, building an agenda for policy reform. The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 required manufacturers to list habit-forming substances and the quantities of those substances on product labels, and sales showed an appreciable decline; however, companies continued to profit. An examination of magazine articles showed that, in addition to patent-medicine manufacturers, newspapers received significant criticism for advancing industry interests through advertising. As a partial result of outlandish claims made in advertisements, problems with patent medicines continued after implementation of the Pure Food and Drug Act. Government officials and the U.S. Supreme Court were among those who undermined the 1906 law. Implications for investigative journalism, history, and public policy are discussed.","PeriodicalId":147592,"journal":{"name":"Journalism & Mass Communication Monographs","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131068034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is deeply researched and encyclopedic in scope, and Glende explores the range of activities involved in the production, dissemination, and reception of labor reporting. At bottom, this is a history of the development and meaning of the body of reporting about the labor movement published by mostly northern newspapers in the mid-20th century. Its most important line of analysis interrogates whether this reporting was fair or not. Glende concludes that, on balance, it was not, and his explanations of why this pervasively unfair tone persisted are what makes this essay so rich and rewarding. Glende resists the easy explanation that this tone had to do with active opposition to labor from within the ranks of commercial daily newspapers. In keeping with Michael Schudson’s 1997 suggestion in Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly that scholars take care to avoid an “anticommercial bias” in writing with media history, Glende presents a novel argument about how mainstream journalism could be rightly perceived as unfair to labor. For Glende, the causality did not stem from the fact that publishers’ antipathy to organized labor, though certainly present, biased the news in any particular direction. Instead, Glende argues, we need to examine evolving practices of commercial news distribution and professional reporting to appreciate how “institutional forces” shaped the news. “Bias was not personal,” Glende asserts,","PeriodicalId":147592,"journal":{"name":"Journalism & Mass Communication Monographs","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116767515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research in this area has intensified in recent years, in response to general transformations within journalism, as well as the specific challenges related to the circulation of misinformation and fake news in online and social media. In the monograph, Bødker and Eldridge develop a theoretical framework to analyze journalistic practices of inferential reasoning, applied in case studies of news reporting related to Donald Trump. I will comment on what I understand as key conceptual components in the framework they suggest, that is, the conceptualization of journalism as knowledge, inferences, and the discursive and performative practices in journalism. I urge further theorizing these essential aspects of journalistic epistemology. Before I discuss the building blocks of the theoretical framework, I will briefly comment on two trends in journalism that were mentioned as a background of the study. In the introduction, Bødker and Eldridge argue that the discursive legitimization of journalism through various textual elements has become more explicit and more complex “because news presents not only knowledge but knowledge of a specific kind.” They assert that the knowledge produced in contemporary journalism has become more differentiated. I will come back to the concept of knowledge. Meanwhile, I am not entirely convinced about this clear shift. Diversity also characterized the subgenres of news journalism even before today’s transformations of the digital news media landscape. I think that the hypothesis of increased explicitness remains to be verified and explored more systematically. Implicit epistemological premises and unproblematic constructions of factuality largely characterize contemporary news journalism. Moreover, changes in the explicitness of epistemic claims, and transparency and contextualization of journalistic practices, have been noted in historical research on earlier transformations of journalism. Perhaps, we now see a new shift. However, we should be careful not to infer too casually a set of general conclusions based on observations of certain phenomena.","PeriodicalId":147592,"journal":{"name":"Journalism & Mass Communication Monographs","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115731180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
