[ecrea] new book - The Routledge Companion to Digital Journalism Studies

Routledge, Taylor and Francis are pleased to announce the publication of 
/The Routledge Companion to Digital Journalism Studies/, edited by Bob 
Franklin (Cardiff University) and Scott Eldridge II (University of 
Groningen) and featuring the work of more than 80 scholars from around 
the globe. This volume brings together a range of scholarly work that 
looks to address key issues and debates shaping the field of Digital 
Journalism Studies.

Across the last decade, journalism has undergone many changes, changes 
which have driven scholars to reassess its most fundamental questions, 
and in the face of digital change, to ask again: ‘Who is a journalist?’ 
and ‘What is journalism?’. This volume explores this developing agenda 
and the work of scholars committed to understanding digital journalism, 
and brings together the work of those seeking to address key theoretical 
concerns and solve unique methodological riddles. Compiled of 58 
original essays, /The Routledge Companion to Digital Journalism Studies/ 
unpacks this fundamental reconceptualization of journalism by assessing 
the impact it has had on journalism’s products, practices, resources, 
and relationship with audiences.

The Companion explores the work in this field across five thematic 
categories: Conceptualizing Digital Journalism Studies, Investigating 
Digital Journalism, Financial Strategies for Digital Journalism, Digital 
Journalism Studies: Issues and Debates, Developing Digital Journalism 
Practice, Digital Journalism and Audiences, Digital Journalism and 
Social Media, Digital Journalism Content, Global Digital Journalism, and 
Future Directions.

    "Bob Franklin and Scott Eldridge have created a foundational text
    for the development of digital journalism studies as an emerging
    interdisciplinary field of study. The Routledge Companion to Digital
    Journalism Studies is a masterful collection, addressing key ideas,
    issues and concerns shaping the field and exploring conceptual,
    professional, methodological and ethical considerations related to
    digital journalism studies. Framed globally, this must-read text
    includes 58 original articles, which focus on the implications of
    economic, cultural, social, political and technological conditions
    facing digital journalism studies while addressing key changes in

    University, USA.*
    "The world of news and journalism is changing fast as the internet
    has become a common means of news gathering and distribution. The
    Routledge Companion to Digital Journalism Studies offers a
    comprehensive collection of essays analysing ‘digital journalism’
    and ‘Digital Journalism Studies’ and makes an irreplaceable and
    timely contribution to the field. Very familiar concepts like news
    and journalism are now up for complete overhaul, and this essential
    compilation of original work provides a major input to this task."
