*Endorsements:*

"Gatekeeping is evolving: it is disassembled, reconfigured,
crowdsourced, and even algorithmified, to keep up with the demands of a
rapidly transforming mediascape. This wide-ranging and comprehensive
collection provides a fascinating insight into future trajectory of this
enduring practice." --Axel Bruns, Queensland University of Technology

"A transformed news ecology has made gatekeeping a research concept--to
put it mildly--‘in transition.’ But this volume shows its robustness and 
continued value, how it usefully opens the now-networked and
multi-layered black box of choices shaping the global news arena."
--Stephen D. Reese, The University of Texas at Austin

"Gatekeeping is a dynamic and rapidly shifting field, shaped by the era
of digital journalism, changing economic realities and new roles for
journalists. This outstanding volume compellingly demonstrates not only
the continued relevance of the gatekeeping paradigm, but also the new
and exciting ways in which it is being studied around the world and
across news organisations, forms and platforms as well as traditions of
research. The book is a much-needed contribution at the cutting edge of
scholarship, and is essential reading for anybody interested in
journalism today." --Karin Wahl-Jorgensen, Cardiff University
