Rezensionen

Mari does well to remind us that there is no such thing as a technological revolution. This essential and highly innovative book is a clarion call for longer term assessments of the interrelationship between journalism and technology.

Drawing on extensive archival material while at the same time being deeply rooted in the cultural-historical tradition towards technologies of the media, it assesses how computer technology arrived incrementally within news practice. It is an outstandingly well-informed set of reflections for the digital age.

- Martin Conboy, University of Sheffield

As one of the few studies that adopt a historical perspective to understanding the impact of pre-Internet technologies on journalistic work, A Short History of Disruptive Journalism Technologies makes a meaningful contribution to the literature that examines the nexus of journalism and technological innovation-a benefit to students and scholars of journalism studies, as well as media historians.
