Letters to the editor provide a window on the reflexive relationship between editorial and readership identities in historical and international contexts. They are a forum through which the personal and the political intersect, a space wherein the implications of contemporaneous events are worked out by citizens and public figures alike, and in which the meaning and significance of unfolding media narratives and events are interpreted and contested. They can also be used to understand the multiple and overlapping ways that particular issues recur over sometimes widely distinct periods. This collection brings together scholars who have helped open up letters to the editor as a resource for scholarship and whose work in this book continues to provide new insights into the relationship between journalism and its publics. 606 $aJournalism 606 $aCommunication 606 $aJournalism$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/412030 606 $aMedia and Communication$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/412010 606 $aJournalism$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X28010 615 0$aJournalism. 615 0$aCommunication. 615 14$aJournalism. 615 24$aMedia and Communication. 615 24$aJournalism. 676 $a302.23 676 $a070.442 702 $aCavanagh$b Allison$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSteel$b John$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483520503321 996 $aLetters to the Editor$92851407 997 $aUNINA
