The death of the daily newspaper in the internet age has been predicted 
for decades. While print newspapers are struggling from drops in 
advertising and circulation, their survival has been based on original 
reporting. Instead of a death knell, metro dailies are experiencing an 
identity crisis—a clash between traditional print journalism’s formality 
and detail and digital journalism’s informality and brevity. In /Metro 
Dailies in the Age of Multimedia Journalism/, Mary Lou Nemanic provides 
in-depth case studies of five mid-size city newspapers to show how these 
publications are adapting to the transition from print-only to 
multiplatform content delivery—and how newsroom practices are evolving 
to address this change. She considers the successes when owners allow 
journalists to manage their newspapers—to ensure production of quality 
journalism under the protection of newspaper guilds—as well as how 
layoffs and resource cutbacks have jeopardized quality standards. 
Arguing for an integrated approach in which print and online reporting 
are considered complementary and visual journalism is emphasized across 
platforms, Nemanic suggests that there is a future for the endangered 
daily metro newspaper.
