[ecrea] New book: Interactive Journalism

*Interactive Journalism*

*Hackers, Data, and Code***

/Nikki Usher/

"In /Interactive Journalism/, Nikki Usher skillfully answers three 
questions rarely addressed at the same time: how are newsrooms changing 
with their adoption of interactive journalism, what economic and 
cultural factors are driving this adoption, and why new ways of telling 
stories may affect the impact of journalism."--James T. Hamilton, author 
of /All the News That's Fit to Sell: How the Market Transforms 
Information into News/

  "Nikki Usher is once again on the frontline of the newsroom, with 
this vivid account of the rise of maker culture in online news. Expertly 
cutting through the techno-jargon, Usher provides the definitive 
portrait of interactive journalism--from its economic benefits and 
professional challenges to its potential to fundamentally transform how 
all of us see and engage with the world."--Rod Benson, New York University

/   Interactive journalism/ has transformed the newsroom. Emerging out 
of changes in technology, culture, and economics, this new specialty 
uses a visual presentation of storytelling that allows users to interact 
with the reporting of information. Today it stands at a nexus: part of 
the traditional newsroom, yet still novel enough to contribute 
innovative practices and thinking to the industry. Nikki Usher brings 
together a comprehensive portrait of nothing less than a new 
journalistic identity. Usher provides a comprehensive history of the 
impact of digital technology on reporting, photojournalism, graphics, 
and other disciplines that define interactive journalism. Her eyewitness 
study of the field's evolution and accomplishments ranges from the 
interactive creation of Al Jazeera English to the celebrated data desk 
at the Guardian to the New York Times' Pulitzer-endowed efforts in the 
new field. What emerges is an illuminating, richly reported portrait of 
the people coding a revolution that may reverse the decline and fall of 
traditional journalism.

*Nikki Usher* is an assistant professor at the George Washington 
University's School of Media and Public Affairs. She is the author of 
/Making News at the New York Times/.
