This volume draws together research originally presented at the
2015 Future of Journalism conference at Cardiff University, UK. The
conference theme, 'Risks, Threats and Opportunities,' highlighted
five areas of particular concern for discussion and debate. The
first of these areas, 'Journalism and Social Media', explores how
journalism and the role of the journalist are being redefined in
the digital age of social networking, crowd-sourcing and 'big
data', and how the influence of media like Twitter, Facebook,
YouTube, Instagram, and Reddit affects the gathering, reporting or
consumption of news? 'Journalists at Risk' assesses the key issues
surrounding journalists' safety and their right to report, as news
organizations and their sources are increasingly targeted in war,
conflict or crisis situations. The third area, 'Journalism Under
Surveillance', asks what freedom of the press means in a
post-Snowden climate. What are the new forms of censorship
confronting journalism today, and what emergent tactics will help
it to speak truth to power? 'Journalism and the Fifth Estate'
examines the traditional ideals of the fourth estate, which risk
looking outdated, if not obsolete, in the modern world. How much
can we rely on citizen media to produce alternative forms of news
reporting, and how can we reform mainstream media institutions to
make them more open, transparent and accountable to the public? The
final area, 'Journalism's Values', asks how journalism's ethical
principles and moral standards are evolving in relation to the
democratic cultures of communities locally, regionally, nationally
or internationally. What are the implications of changing
priorities for the education, training and employment of tomorrow's
journalists? Every chapter in this volume engages with a pressing
issue for the future of journalism, offering an original,
thought-provoking perspective intended to help facilitate further
dialogue and debate. The chapters in this book were originally
published in special issues of Digital Journalism, Journalism
Practice, and Journalism Studies.

With developments in media technologies creating new opportunities
and challenges for social movements to emerge and mobilize, this
book is a timely and necessary examination of how organized labour
and workers movements are engaging with this shifting environment.
Based on extensive empirical research into emerging migrant and
low-wage workers movements and their media practices, this book
takes a critical look at the nature of worker resistance to
ever-growing global corporate power in a digital age. Situating
trade unionism in historical context, the book considers other
forms of worker organizations and unionism, including global
unionism, social movement unionism, community unionism, and
syndicalist unionism, all of which have become increasingly
relevant in a digitized world-system. At a time when the labour
movement is said to be in crisis, this book is essential reading
for anyone interested in the state of the labour movement, the
future of unions, and the possibilities for challenging corporate
exploitation of workers today.
Commercial social media platforms have become integral to
contemporary forms of protests. They are intensely used by advocacy
groups, non-governmental organisations, social movements and other
political actors who increasingly integrate social media platforms
into broader practices of organizing and campaigning. But, aside
from the many advantages of extensive mobilization opportunities at
low cost, what are the implications of social media corporations
being involved in these grassroots movements? This book takes a
much-needed critical approach to the relationship between social
media and protest. Highlighting key issues and concerns in
contemporary forms of social media activism, including questions of
censorship, surveillance, individualism, and temporality, the book
combines contributions from some of the most active scholars in the
field today. Advancing both conceptual and empirical work on social
media and protest, and with a range of different angles, the book
provides a fresh and challenging outlook on a very topical debate.
