The future of newspapers is hotly contested. Pessimistic pundits
predict their imminent demise while others envisage a new era of
participatory journalism online, with yet others advocating
increased investment "in quality journalism" rather than free gifts
and DVDs, as the necessary cure for the current parlous state of
newspapers. Globally, newspapers confront highly variable prospects
reflecting their location in different market sectors, countries
and journalism cultures. But despite this diversity, they face
similar challenges in responding to the increased competition from
expansive radio and 24 hour television news channels; the emergence
of free "Metro" papers; the delivery of news services on
billboards, pod casts and mobile telephony; the development of
online editions, as well as the burgeoning of blogs, citizen
journalists and User Generated Content. Newspapers' revenue streams
are also under attack as advertising increasingly migrates online.
This authoritative collection of research based essays by
distinguished scholars and journalists from around the globe,
brings together a judicious mix of academic expertise and
professional journalistic experience to analyse and report on the
future of newspapers. This book was published as special issues of
Journalism Practice and Journalism Studies.
