      abstract = {"This book challenges the idea that Western media systems  are becoming more American in the digital age, arguing that  journalistic cultures are not only significantly different  from each other still but also variably open and resistant  to change. Drawing upon extensive field research of  political reporters and examination of discourses of  journalistic professionalism as well institutional  analysis, this book finds that occupational norms and  values of journalism in the US are vigorously upheld but in  fact relatively porous and malleable. In Germany, by  contrast, professional boundaries are rather strong and  resilient but treated matter-of-factly. Revers argues that  this is both a consequence of institutional arrangements of  media systems and historically evolved cultural principles  of journalism in both countries which mutually constitute  each other"--Publisher's description.},
