Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften Making Online News- Volume 2: Newsroom Ethnographies in the Second Decade of Internet Journalism: 67 (Digital Formations)

Online journalism has taken center stage in debates about the future of news. Instead of speculating, this volume offers rich empirical evidence about actual developments in online newsrooms. The authors use ethnographic methodologies to provide a vivid, close analysis of processes like newsroom integration, the transition of newspaper and radio journalists to digital multimedia production, the management of user-generated content, the coverage of electoral campaigns, the pressure of marketing logics, the relationship with bloggers or the redefinition of news genres. This second volume of Making Online News presents twelve all-new case studies of newsrooms around the world, including the United States of America, United Kingdom, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Zimbabwe and Malaysia. Review «The world of news is fast changing. Increased competition, 24/7 news delivery, multi-media production, migrating advertising, fragmenting audiences and the rise of citizen journalism and social media all speak to the changing nature of news and news production in a digital age. We need to better understand these processes from the 'inside out' as well as the 'outside in'. We need to examine the shift to producing news online and how this has transformed the nature of news production, reconfigured journalist practices and reshaped news values and professional identities. 'Making Online News' expertly contributes new knowledge and improved understanding of the on-going revolution in news manufacture - 'from the inside out'. An invaluable collection.» (Simon Cottle, Professor of Media and Communication, Cardiff University) «City by city and country by country, the news media are transforming themselves. Whether gasping to survive economic challenges or celebrating new possibilities, the denizens of today's newsrooms live in a world that would have seemed alien fifty years ago. In a series of complementary ethnographies, this second volume of 'Making Online News' paints a valuable portrait of international continuity and change. It is a valuable addition to the journalism curriculum.» (Gaye Tuchman, Professor of Sociology, University of Connecticut) About the Author David Domingo is a senior lecturer in the Department of Communication Studies at Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Tarragona, Catalonia).
