Ebook: Challenges to the Epistemology of Journalism: The Architecture of the Contemporary Mediascape

The material gathered in this book provides a rich and diverse context for
understanding the interactive nature of the online news experience, the
merging of the old and new logics of content production, blogging as a
legitimate platform for journalism, new interactive technologies of news
dissemination and user-generated content, and contemporary mainstream
web journalism. The objective of this book is to emphasize the importance of the current pace of technological and social change, the participatory nature of blogs, the role of technological change in the adoption of innovations in online journalism, and the digitization of the media industry. Thus, my aim is to examine the success of online news ventures, the integration of journalist and user-generated content, the processual flow of online journalism, and social networking sites as potential sources of news and information.
