This book addresses the transformative role that so-called
peripheral actors in journalism - emerging outlets diverging from
the norms fiercely held by mainstream media outlets - play in
today's news ecosystem. The author charts the rise to prominence of
these actors, outlining how they have successfully managed to
challenge the authority held by mainstream, legacy outlets, whose
claims to be the "storytellers of our time" no longer exclusively
pertain to them. Beginning by identifying these peripheral actors
specifically, the book then considers whether what they do is
"journalism" as traditionally conceived, what their motivations
are, and why their role is important in light of journalism's
democratic function in holding power to account. Ultimately, it is
argued that, despite the perceived role of peripheral actors as
"deviant", they still demonstrate a surprising degree of
ideological continuity in the face of industrial disruption.
Drawing on research from Australia, Germany, and the United
Kingdom, Peripheral Actors in Journalism is an insightful resource
for journalism and media scholars with an interest in alternative
media sources.
