In this current period of uncertainty and introspection in the media,
New Journalisms not only focuses on new challenges facing journalism,
but also seeks to capture a wide range of new practices that are being
employed across a diversity of media.
This edited collection explores how these new practices can lead to a
reimagining of journalism in terms of practice, theory, and pedagogy,
bringing together high-profile academics, emerging researchers, and
well-known journalism practitioners. The book's opening chapters assess
the challenges of loss of trust and connectivity, shifting professional
identity, and the demise of local journalism. A section on new practices
evaluates algorithms, online participatory news websites, and
verification. Finally, the collection explores whether new pedagogies
offer potential routes to new journalisms.
Representing a timely intervention in the debate and providing
sustainable impact through its forward-looking focus, New Journalisms
is essential reading for students of journalism and media studies.
