      A unique theory of trust building in engagement journalism that proposes journalists move to an ethic of care as they prioritize listening and learning within communities instead of propping up problematic institutions. In How Journalists Engage, Sue Robinson explores how journalists of different identities, especially racial, enact trusting relationships with their audiences. Drawing from case studies, community-work, interviews, and focus groups, she documents a growing built environment around trust building and engagement journalism that represents the first major paradigm shift of the press's core values in more than a century. As Robinson shows, journalists are being trained to take on new roles and skillsets around listening and learning, in addition to normative routines related to being a watchdog and storyteller. She demonstrates how this movement mobilizes the nurturing of personal, organizational, and institutional relationships that people have with information, sources, news brands, journalists, and each other. Developing a new theory of trust building, Robinson calls for journalists to grapple actively with their own identities--especially the privileges, biases, and marginalization attached to them--and those of their communities, resulting in a more intentional and effective moral voice focused on justice and equity through the news practice of an ethic of care.

      Australia s strict quarantine rules have been breached and an alien strain of Dermatobia hominis, the human botfly, has crossed with the harmless native variety, creating a new and deadly strain which flourishes with all the vigour of an introduced species. The Top End has been abandoned as people flee a killer whose eggs hatch upon contact with human body heat, allowing the larvae to burrow under the skin. Scientists race to find a biological remedy. Thirteen-year-old Adam Wilde s father is searching for a variety of botfly safe to humans and genetically dominant to the deadly Variant X. He establishes a floating laboratory on a tributary of the Amazon and here, with his wife and son, he works in cooperation with the local Indians. Adam s tranquil existence on board Carlotta is disturbed by the arrival of an old friend and colleague of his parents. Jerry Loundes has come to help and has brought his fourteen-year-old daughter Sharma with him. Adam resents Sharma s intrusion and she, in turn, is hostile towards Adam and his family. In the heat and humidity of the forest, tension builds and things start to go very wrong.
