Mon Jun 13 21:10:20 GMT 2011


New book at Peter Lang's Digital Formations series


     *Making Online News -- Volume 2**
     Newsroom Ethnography in the Second Decade of Internet Journalism*

Edited by David Domingo and Chris Paterson

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.
