Anthropological reflection on press journalism

Abstract

Press journalism does not exist without a newspaper, but a newspaper does not constitute the whole press journalism. From this perspective, the issue of press genres is not important. Genology does not transcend the world of the press. However, anthropological reflection on press journalism concerns thoughts on experience, which is something more than an article in a newspaper. In anthropology, we talk about two methods of cognition – emic and etic. In my article, I consider the opportunities and limitations of this conception in relation with press journalism by substituting genology for a search of the subject’s experience.
