Taking stock of research in an area that has long been starved of scholarly attention, The Routledge Handbook of Lifestyle Journalism brings together scholars from across journalism, communication, and media studies to offer the first substantial volume of its kind in this dynamic field. Featuring 30 contributions from authors at the cutting-edge of research around the world, this Handbook is divided into five major sections covering definitions; current trends; the relationship between lifestyle journalism and consumer culture; how lifestyle journalism interacts with matters of identity, emotion, politics, and society; and future directions.
