Must read: Books by journalists
By Martina Thiele and Boris Romahn | The decision to continue the »Book Journalism« section (see Journalism Research 3-4/2025) has been met with widespread approval. We have also received many tips about recently published books. On the one hand, this is wonderful and very helpful, but on the other hand, we have to decide which ten books to choose from the multitude of new publications. Journalists are obviously very productive, even when it comes to longer forms such as books. We, Martina Thiele (MT, University of Tübingen) and Boris Romahn (Bro, University of Salzburg), are pleased to recommend a diverse selection of books by journalists that are well worth reading. They cover current and historical topics and offer a wide range of perspectives on war and peace, fact and fiction, homelands and identities.
