Tsantsa, the journal of the Swiss Ethnological Society, has published an issue titled “Anthropology and Journalism: Two professions between competition, cooperation and legitimacy.” Boris Boller, co-coordinator of the issue, tells us, “Contributions range from an article on concealed local collaborations of foreign news reporters or reflexions on trends towards an ‘embedded anthropology’ in high-risk organisations to a plea for involvement of anthropologists in public life and journalism.” See the table of contents and English abstracts on the society website.
