The most comprehensive book I've read on the issues facing online journalism in the UK. Digital Journalism manages to combine an understanding of technological and cultural developments with a commercial and political awareness that prevents it falling into the trap of technological determinism. Essential reading for journalism students
Paul BradshawCity University and Birmingham City University
An essential introduction to the changed landscape of journalism with a very strong theoretical framework from the authors. Illuminating and thought-provoking,
This title is recommended reading, among similar ones and journal articles, for my Year 1 Social Media students.
Very useful primer
this book will be used by my students as it it applies to all forms of journalism as well as radio production.
Great introduction to the principles of digital journalism. The early chapters in particular will prove useful to the students, as it demonstrates how other mediums have impacted upon journalism in the past.
A key text in the study of how online technologies are being applied by journalists and are affecting journalism today.
An intelligent and comprehensive examination of the financial and political drivers underlying the digital age. Jones and Salter provide a detailed and fascinating insight into the advent of online journalism; its impact in society and on the news industry whilst explaining how and why it has been both embraced and, at times, resisted by news organisations. Whilst, the language and terms of reference, at times, maybe regarded as a little overly complex for the student reader, this is an excellent text to support all inquiry into new media.
An enjoyable and informative analysis of journalism in the modern age
This book is very useful for anyone looking to have better understanding of a new journalism. However, it would be better if both authors consider to have extra chapters on digital journalism practices in Asia (maybe) for their next edition.
Too focussed on the US market
It does not fall into clear category of either a) fully up-to-date "how to" or b) fully reflective and deep contextual analysis
This introductory survey has proved useful for both Level 4 and Level 5 students. Not only are the Level 5 students studying the Intro to Print and Online Journalism Production module being recommended the book, but Level 4 students on the UK News Reporting module are also using it. It's an accessible and wide-ranging book.
Excellent, informed and up to date
This is a really good, up to date look at changes in journalism. It's highly recommended to my students
A great read. The chapter on mobile journalism was particuarly useful and the final pages make for a fascinating insight and vision. I would definately reccomend this book for any journalism student and aspiring digital journalist.
