Journalism and hospitality
Lokman Tsui has posted his dissertation. I like it for a few reasons. First, it’s Lokman’s :) Second, it takes hospitality seriously as a virtue; this used to be definitive of cultures but in modernity has gotten associated with the offering of cupcakes. Third, it applies hospitality to journalism as a way of framing the discussion of why American media don’t well represent the non-Western world. Fourth, it presents an insightful view of what makes GlobalVoices special.
