-concepts and contexts e.g. the public sphere, the information society, etc.
-developments in the media e.g.convergence, the digital divide, etc.
-issues of the post-journalism era e.g. deprofessionalisation, civic participation, etc.
-digitization and newswork and newswork setting e.g. CAJ, online journalism, etc.
-the functions of Journalism e.g. democractic, deliberative, etc.
The papers take a deliberately international stance and use a wide range of case-studies and methodological positions.
This book will be welcomed by readers seeking to understand the global digital process and journalism and those studying Journalism, Mass Communication, Cultural Studies and Sociology.
