As the title suggests, this edited volume focuses on developments within 
digital journalism in China.It explores the implications of digital 
media technologies for journalists’ professional practice, news users’ 
consumption of and engagement with news, as well as the shifting 
institutional, organizational and financial structures of news media 
within the particular context of mainland China.

This book will hopefully form part of the Routledge */Disruptions: 
Studies in Digital Journalism series. /*Disruptions refers to the 
radical changes provoked by the affordances of digital technologies that 
trigger changes in the business models, professional practice, roles, 
ethics, products and even the accepted definitions and understandings of 
journalism. For Digital Journalism Studies, the field of scholarly 
inquiry focused on the academic study of digital journalism, disruption 
results in paradigmatic shifts in scholarly concerns and prompts 
reconsideration of research methods, theoretical considerations and 
responses (oppositional and consensual) to such changes.

The Editors are particularly concerned to address the following topics, 
but authors are welcome to focus on other relevant themes.

 1. The range and variety of business models for funding digital journalism
 2. The Platformisation of news (social media platforms - Weibo, WeChat,
    news app, short video news – Douyin, Kuaishou, etc.)
 3. Immersive journalism (AR/VR journalism)
 4. Automated (AI) journalism
 5. Data journalism (algorisms, data mining, analysis and visualization)
 6. Mobile journalism, especially the use of smart phone for journalists
    and others
 7. Newsroom convergence (organizational structures, routines,
    innovations, newsroom culture)
 8. Citizen/participatory journalism
 9. Crowd sourcing and crowd funding in news
10. Professional journalists’ identities, values, practices and constraints
11. Institutional structures (ownership, policies, regulations,
    political economy of digital journalism, local/regional/central
    media collaboration, competition and conflict)
12. Digital news production and consumption
13. Digital journalism training and education

Chapters can focus primarily on theoretical or practice issues and 
concerns within digital journalism, or both.Contributions of a 
theoretical, conceptual, empirical and / or comparative nature are welcome.
