New media, old news : journalism & democracy in the digital age
Have new communications technologies revitalized the public sphere, or become the commercial tool for an increasingly un-public, undemocratic news media? Are changing journalistic practices damaging the nature of news, or are new media allowing journalists to do more journalism and to engage the public more effectively?With massive changes in the media environment and its technologies, interrogating the nature of news journalism is one of the most urgent tasks we face in defining the public interest today. The implications are serious, not just for the future of the news, but also for the practice of democracy.In a thorough empirical investigation of journalistic practices in different news contexts, New Media, Old News explores how technological, economic, and social changes have reconfigured news journalism, and the consequences of these transformations for a vibrant democracy in our digital age. The result is a piercing examination of why understanding news journalism matters now more than ever. It is essential reading for students and scholars of journalism and new media.

Participation, Engagement and Collaboration in Newsmaking

Death of the Daily News
The City of McKeesport in southwestern Pennsylvania once had a
population of more than fifty thousand people and a newspaper that
dated back to the nineteenth century. Technology has caused massive
disruption to American journalism, throwing thousands of reporters
out of work, closing newsrooms, and leaving vast areas with few
traditional news sources-including McKeesport. With the loss of
their local paper in 2015, residents now struggle to make sense of
what goes on in their community and to separate facts from
gossip-often driven by social media. The changes taking place in
this one Pennsylvania community are being repeated across the
United States as hundreds of local newspapers close, creating news
deserts and leaving citizens with little access to reliable local
journalism. The obituary for local news, however, does not have to
read all bad: Even in the bleakest places, citizens are discovering
what happens in their communities and becoming gatekeepers to
information for the people around them. In McKeesport, citizens are
attempting to make sense of the news on their own, for better and
worse. This experiment not only offers clues about what happens
after a local newspaper dies, but also provides guidance to the way
forward.

Here, Rodríguez tells the story of how these civilians use community radio, television, video, digital photography, and the Internet to shield their communities from armed violence’s negative impacts.
