Countering the Western Canon: Other Ways of Knowing about Journalism and Media is a collection of essays by Ahmad Murad Merican manifesting his engagement with epistemological, historical, cultural ad societal perspectives of journalism and media, especially in the Malay world. This book introduces another way of knowing journalism and the media. Divided into nine chapters, it serves as a rejoinder to the orientation and thinking on journalism, communication, and media in Malaysia (and to some extent, Indonesia) conditioned by the establishment of journalism/mass communication schools some five decades ago. Apart from exploring non-Western perspectives on media historiography and communication, this book argues for a corpus from a none Euro-American tradition. It calls for reassessing journalism as a sociological and civilizational construct implemented through the curriculum in journalism and media education.
