Journalismus aus erzähltheoretischer Perspektive

2018

The essay demonstrates how the narratological theories developed in the field of literary studies can accomplish a better comprehension of journalistic narratives. As they have to accommodate the principles of journalism, these narratives have to be true, topical and impartial.

(2) In a globalized world, how do children’s relationships with modalities create new l…
