- Description
- Tony Harcup is a self-confessed ‘hackademic’, a term which he defines in his Oxford dictionary of journalism as ‘a journalist who goes on to work in journalism education where they combine the roles of journalism (hack) and academic’ (p. 121). Harcup explains that hackademics perform this balancing act in the ‘hackademy’, a curious space within academe where journalism training intersects with Journalism Studies (a field of study which is nowadays often granted ‘upper case’ status), ‘sometimes with mutual respect and insight, sometimes with mutual suspicion and hostility’ (ibid.). And this tension is never far from the surface in many of the 1 300 definitions in this useful and absorbing dictionary.
