Definitions of Digital Journalism (Studies) offers an authoritative
and highly accessible point of entry into current debates and
definitions of digital journalism and digital journalism studies.
Journalism continues to evolve as it increasingly shifts to digital
forms, practices, and spaces, challenging traditional notions of
what journalism is and what it should be. As scholars and
practitioners make sense, adapt to, or seek to withstand the
different facets of change confronting the field, it is important
to clarify the contours of what we are studying. Studies of digital
journalism have usually assumed, if not taken for granted, what
digital journalism means. But navigating the rapidly expanding
scholarship in this area requires clarification of our core
concept. This book brings together journalism scholars from around
the world to tease out what digital journalism stands for, and what
digital journalism scholarship looks like. This book offers a
timely guide for scholars and practitioners of digital journalism.
It aims to help undergraduate and graduate students, as well as
journalism scholars, in positioning their work within the field of
digital journalism studies. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the journal Digital
Journalism.
What is Digital Journalism Studies? delves into the technologies,
platforms, and audience relations that constitute digital
journalism studies' central objects of study, outlining its
principal theories, the research methods being developed, its
normative underpinnings, and possible futures for the academic
field. The book argues that digital journalism studies is much more
than the study of journalism produced, distributed, and consumed
with the aid of digital technologies. Rather, the scholarly field
of digital journalism studies is built on questions that disrupt
much of what previously was taken for granted concerning media,
journalism, and public spheres, asking questions like: What is a
news organisation? To what degree has news become separated from
journalism? What roles do platform companies and emerging
technologies play in the production, distribution, and consumption
of news and journalism? The book reviews the research into these
questions and argues that digital journalism studies constitutes a
cross-disciplinary field that does not focus on journalism solely
from the traditions of journalism studies, but is open to research
from and conversations with related fields. This is a timely
overview of an increasingly prominent field of media studies that
will be of particular interest to academics, researchers, and
students of journalism and communication.
This edited collection examines critical incidents journalists have
faced across different media contexts, exploring how journalists
and other key actors negotiate various aspects of their work.
Ranging from the Rwandan genocide to the News of the World hacking
scandal in the UK, this book defines a critical incident as an
event that has led journalists to reconsider their routines, roles,
and rules. Combining theoretical and practical analysis, the
contributors offer a discussion of the key events that journalists
cover, such as political turmoil or natural disasters, as well as
events that directly involve and affect journalists. Featuring case
studies from countries including Australia, Germany, Brazil, Kenya,
and the Philippines, the book explores the discourses that critical
events have generated, how journalists and other stakeholders have
responded to them, and how they have reshaped (or are reshaping)
journalistic norms and practices. The book also proposes a roadmap
for studying such pivotal moments in journalism. This one-of-a-kind
collection is a valuable resource for students and scholars across
journalism studies disciplines, from journalism history, to
sociology of news, to digital journalism and political
communication.

The rise of the smartphone has shifted news from fixed publication
to a flow of updateable information. The chapters in this book
investigate the implications for audiences, industry and society as
news becomes mobile. Wherever we go, news from anywhere can reach
us on our smartphones. And wherever we are, we can search up
information specific to that place. News is produced by mobile
journalists (MoJos) as well as by citizens armed with smartphones,
reporting breaking news from crisis zones where information is
uncertain, or hyperlocal news from neighbourhoods where little
happens. Mobile technology allows citizens to engage deeply with a
cause or to skim headlines so they know a little about a lot of
things. News is distributed on mobile networks and consumed by
mobile audiences as they make their daily way through time and
space coloured by their mobile devices. It is consumed in the
niches of life. It intersects with place in new ways as geolocated
news. It pursues us wherever we are through push notifications. And
news has moved from fixed to fluid, a flow of updateable
information rather than a regularly issued product. In this book,
the contributors take varied viewpoints on mobility and news, its
impact on what news is, how journalists produce it and how it fits
into everybody's everyday life. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of Digital Journalism.
