Opting out of Digital Media showcases the role of human agency and
cultural identity in the development and use of digital
technologies. Based on academic research, news and trade reports,
popular culture and 105 in-depth interviews, this book explores the
contemporary "opting out" trend. It focuses directly on people's
intentions and the many reasons why they engage with or reject
digital technologies. Author Bonnie Brennen illustrates the nuanced
thinking and numerous reasons why people choose to use some new
technologies and reject others. Some interviewees opt out of
digital technologies because of their ethical, political,
environmental, religious or cultural beliefs. Other people consider
new media superficial diversions that do not meet their
expectations, needs or interests while some citizens worry about
issues of privacy and security and reject digital technologies
because of their fears. Still other people construct their cultural
identities through the choices they make about their use of new
media. In many cases the use or nonuse of digital technologies
offers specific representations of how people assert their
independence, authority and agency over new media, while in some
cases the choices that people make about new technologies also
illustrate their class position or socioeconomic status. Opting Out
of Digital Media responds to the growing opting out trend,
addressing the developments in the unplugging phenomenon. It serves
as the ideal text for any reader interested in the role of digital
technologies in our lives and how it has become a part of a
mainstream movement.
Journalism Research in Practice: Perspectives on Change,
Challenges, and Solutions is a unique collection of research on
journalism written for journalists and wider audiences. Based on
scholarship previously published in Journalism Practice, Journalism
Studies, and Digital Journalism, authors have updated and rewritten
their works to make connections to contemporary issues. These 28
studies include perspectives on modern-day freelancing,
digitization, and partisan influences on the press. They appear in
four distinct sections: * Addressing Journalism in Times of Social
Conflict * Advancements in New Media and Audience Participation *
Challenges and Solutions in a Changing Profession * Possibilities
for Journalism and Social Change This book is a collection by
leading scholars from the field of Journalism Studies who have
revisited their previous work with the intent of asking more
questions about how journalism looks, works, and is preparing for
the future. From coverage on Donald Trump and alt-right media to
media trust, verification, and social media, this volume is
relevant for practicing journalists today who are planning for
tomorrow, students learning about the field and its debates, and
scholars and educators looking for approachable texts about complex
issues.

For the Record focuses on the experiences of journalists, primarily
in their own words, who worked in Rochester, New York, on the
Gannett owned Democrat & Chronicle and the Times Union. While
there are occasional glimpses back to the beginning of the
twentieth century and conversations regarding current newsroom
policies by those who are still involved in the business, most of
the material in this study centers on Gannett during the 1940s,
1950s, and 1960s-a period that may be seen as pivotal to the
development of the Gannett Company. Although there is an enormous
wealth of material available on the lives of editors, publishers,
and owners of newspapers, the history of newsworkers remains quite
limited. Brennen's primary intention for this project is to give
voice to these newsworkers, investigating their work environment,
routines, and expectations. Journalists shared their favorite
stories, best interviews, greatest challenges, and most frustrating
experiences with Brennen. In giving voice to those previously
marginalized, this oral history project may help us to reach a
deeper understanding of the challenges and realities newsworkers
face in the United States.
