[Commlist] New Book: Routledge Companion to Digital Journalism Studies, Second Edition

We are pleased to announce the second edition of /The Routledge 
Companion to Digital Journalism Studies/, edited by Scott A. Eldridge 
II, David Cheruiyot, Sandra Banjac, and Joëlle Swart (University of 
Groningen, NL).


Journalism has arguably faced unprecedented disruption and 
reconceptualization since the first edition of this /Companion/ was 
published in 2017, and the ways we work as a field of scholars in 
digital journalism studies has developed substantially in the years 
since then. In this second edition, we join 77 scholars whose work 
appears in this Companion, bringing together a truly global and 
groundbreaking collection of essays addressing the key issues and 
debates shaping the field of digital journalism studies today.


Across 54 chapters, scholars address questions over the roles journalism 
and journalists play in society, exploring changes to platforms, 
products, practices, and audiences that are driving new research agendas 
in the field. They unpack developments in technologies, data 
infrastructures, algorithms, and the businesses behind these 
technologies, as well as the impact of such developments on the practice 
of digital journalism. Debates concerning the decline of public trust in 
journalism are considered, as are the blurred distinctions between 
journalism and other forms of media and communication. In making sense 
of these changes, colleagues highlight the need for digital competence 
and literacy within journalism and introduce new methodological 
approaches, including experimental and arts-based methods, computational 
methods, and collaborative work to study them.


This newly reorganized second edition showcases the rich diversity of 
work that continues to define the field of digital journalism studies, 
and is a testament to the growth that this area of journalism research 
has experienced since the first /Companion to Digital Journalism 
Studies/, edited by Bob Franklin and Scott Eldridge, and in doing so it 
offers an essential point of reference for students and researchers alike.
