This collection of original essays brings a dramatically different
perspective to bear on the contemporary 'crisis of journalism'.
Rather than seeing technological and economic change as the primary
causes of current anxieties, The Crisis of Journalism Reconsidered
draws attention to the role played by the cultural commitments of
journalism itself. Linking these professional ethics to the
democratic aspirations of the broader societies in which
journalists ply their craft, it examines how the new technologies
are being shaped to sustain value commitments rather than
undermining them. Recent technological change and the economic
upheaval it has produced are coded by social meanings. It is this
cultural framework that actually transforms these 'objective'
changes into a crisis. The book argues that cultural codes not only
trigger sharp anxiety about technological and economic changes, but
provide pathways to control them, so that the democratic practices
of independent journalism can be sustained in new forms.
