[ecrea] New special issue in Information, Communication & Society: Transforming tensions: legacy media towards participation and collaboration

Today Volume 15:6 of /Information, Communication & Society/ was 
published online, a special issue titled: /Transforming tensions: legacy 
media towards participation and collaboration.

/The issue consists of 8 original articles focusing transforming 
tensions regarding participation and collaboration, written by both 
junior and senior scholars specialized in this area. Transforming 
tensions are discussed in terms such as produsage, content-flow 
structures, partnerships, production–consumption circuits as well as 
inclusion level and inclusion distance. The special issue also shows the 
value of researching intra-organizational tensions to grasp the 
concurrent social shaping of legacy media. With many articles informing 
on the salient case of journalism, one can conclude that legacy news 
media are reluctant to relinquish all of their authority, ownership and 
control to individuals wanting to engage in content creation. Legacy 
news media are rooted in old ideologies and practices, which seem to 
have guided their views on the new and challenging roads of participation.

The articles, which are listed below, are available at
