In 2003, Bowman and Willis wrote that "journalism is in the process
of redefining itself, adjusting to the disruptive forces
surrounding it". Almost two decades later, the discussion about
journalism and its future has not shifted as much as one would have
expected. Between then and now, there have been massive changes in
the media landscape and great technological developments -
financial crises and the emergence of social media platforms, to
name a few examples. It could be argued that we still share the
same concerns. This book is essentially a dialogue - each chapter
contributes to this dialogue, by highlighting the crisis elements
and by pointing to direct proposals. The idea for the present
volume emerged through a respective conference - the proposals
presented in this book are the direct result of the Advanced Media
Institute's Conference in Thessaloniki, Greece, entitled "Media,
Polis, Agora: Journalism & Communication in the Digital Era"
(AMIRetreat2018), held in September 2018. The outcome of the
intensive and fruitful collaboration between academics and media
professionals was the identification of seven key areas that pose
obstacles to journalism's progression, but also indicate the steps
we need to take to safeguard and enhance journalism. These areas
vary from the current employment conditions and the dominance of
"web giants" over crowdfunding, the closer collaboration of
professionals and academia, the need to advance our media literacy
efforts, and of course, elements of media regulation (as for
example, the institution of "Media Ombudsman"). The starting point
for the book is the Greek context. However, the book goes beyond
Greece alone. In this context Greece is regarded as part of an
international journalistic context that resides within to the
crisis narrative, the new opportunities and the proposed solutions.
Greece offers an interesting point of departure not only because
the financial crisis was/is evidently interlinked to the
journalistic one, but also because the manifestations of this
crisis were/are substantial and widespread across various societal
layers. Therefore, it arguably serves as an example that indicates
tendencies in other countries. The book is structured into 7
proposals, and each proposal includes two parts: one that discusses
the topic through the "Greek prism" and one that provides a
perspective of the topic as exemplified by another European
country. Each proposal also puts forward two perspectives: an
academic perspective and a professional perspective. In this way,
the proposals bring two country contexts into dialogue through
authors that approach each topic from different angles.
