News Evolution or Revolution? (eBook, ePUB)

The Future of Print Journalism in the Digital Age

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book tells the story of modern-day newspapers by exploring the digital transition of the New Orleans Times-Picayune as a microcosm of the industry. Drawing on the expertise of scholars and professionals across a range of areas, it explores the economic, political, and social context of the move of the largest daily newspaper (to date) from print to the Web. In doing so it paints a complete picture of the current shape of the newspaper industry.
While the circumstances in New Orleans anchor the book, it also includes exploration of other for-profit and nonprofit business models for newspapers; differences in how communities handle news during a crisis; implications of the digital divide; and, how different communities believe a decline in print journalism impacts politics and the functioning of local government.
By researching in real-time the metamorphosis of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the book shows what news organizations, journalists, news consumers, and professionals can learn about the future of the global newspaper industry. Is the newspaper industry in the midst of evolution or are its decisions sparking a revolution?

Rezensionen

«Indem der Band hartnäckig nach der realen Praxis und Bedeutung von Journalismus in Print, TV und Online fragt, liefert er ein äusserst plastisches und die zentralen Fragen konsequent verfolgendes Tableau der Auseinandersetzung zwischen Print und Online in den USA.»
(Markus Bauer, MEDIENwissenschaften 04/2016)
