The book offers a systematic and comparative analysis of the press\u00a0office as a structural actor in contemporary journalism, recognising it\u00a0as an active site for news production, agenda-setting and narrative\u00a0management. The topics covered are wide-ranging: the redefinition of the\u00a0 concept of news within press office culture and media relations;\u00a0relations between sources and journalists; pressure from platforms and\u00a0 algorithmic logic; artificial intelligence in communication workflows;\u00a0 country-specific studies and sector-specific studies (publicinstitutions, cultural organisations, the third sector, international\u00a0NGOs, businesses); professional training and entry into the field,\u00a0including the dimensions of gender, class, disability and social capital\u00a0in recruitment processes.
Both theoretical contributions and empirical research, case studies,\u00a0longitudinal and comparative perspectives are welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
