Milestones in Digital Journalism
About this book
Milestones in Digital Journalism sets out ten defining moments that changed the way we understand, produce, finance and engage with the news today.
Designed for weekly use on digital journalism courses, these ten milestones provide a conceptual roadmap to understanding the subject while drawing on case study examples which help students home in on key markers in its history. Each milestone is selected for its impact on the nature of journalism practice, the content of journalism, the structure of the journalism industry and/or public engagement in the news. Milestones are defined as the key markers in the development of digital journalism worldwide since the 1970s. The featured markers are diverse and global, ranging from the first virtual reality (VR) screening of Nonny de la Peña's Hunger in Los Angeles at Sundance Film Festival, to citizen reporting of the police killing of George Floyd in 2020. Written by experts in each of the areas chosen, this book offers an inclusive and de-centred overview of the field and an ideal springboard for further study.
Milestones are a range of accessible textbooks, breaking down the need-to-know moments in the social, cultural, political and artistic development of foundational subject areas.
This book is key reading for students learning about the history of digital journalism worldwide.
