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looking outdated, if not obsolete, in the modern world.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.

More journalists are being killed, attacked and intimidated than at
any time in history. Reporting Dangerously: Journalist Killings,
Intimidation and Security examines the statistics and looks at the
trends in journalist killings and intimidation around the world. It
identifies what factors have led to this rise and positions these
in historical and global contexts. This important study also
provides case studies and first-hand accounts from journalists
working in some of the most dangerous places in the world today and
seeks to understand the different pressures they must confront. It
also examines industry and political responses to these trends and
pressures as well as the latest international initiatives aimed at
challenging cultures of impunity and keeping journalists safe.
Throughout, the authors argue that journalism contributes a vital
if often neglected role in the formation and conduct of civil
societies. This is why reporting from 'uncivil' places matters and
this is why journalists are often positioned in harm's way. The
responsibility to report in a globalizing world of crises and human
insecurity, and the responsibility to try and keep journalists safe
while they do so, it is argued, belongs to us all.

Over the last 30 years 24-hour television news channels have
reshaped the practice and culture of journalism. But the arrival of
new content and social media platforms over recent years has
challenged their power and authority, with fast-changing
technologies accelerating the speed of news delivery and reshaping
audience behaviour. Following on from The Rise of 24-Hour News
Television: Global Perspectives (Cushion and Lewis, 2010), this
volume explores new challenges and pressures facing television news
channels, and considers the future of 24-hour news. Featuring a
wide range of industry and academic perspectives, including the
heads of some of the major international news channels (BBC Global
News, Al Jazeera and Sky News, among others) as well as leading
academics from around the world, contributors reflect on how well
rolling television news is reinventing itself for digital platforms
and the rapidly changing expectations of audiences. Overall, the 24
chapters in this volume deliver fresh insights into how 24-hour
news channels have redefined rolling news journalism - or
potentially could do - in order to remain relevant and effective in
supplying continuous news for 21st-century audiences.
