The Routledge Handbook of Developments in Digital Journalism Studies
A paradigmatic shift is sometimes revealed by an unanticipated and extraordinary event, and so it was with Edward Snowden in 2013. A National Security Agency (NSA) contractor, Snowden was so appalled at the exponential expansion of covert digital surveillance that he decided it was his moral duty to inform the public, indeed the world.

The Future of Journalism: In an Age of Digital Media and Economic Uncertainty
This paper describes an ongoing design project relating to online news and how alterations to news stories are hidden from the reader. As the delivery and consumption of news content online continues to overtake other channels in reader numbers and market penetration, so methods of transparency and reliability developed over centuries continue also to be tested by digital media. We have conducted content analysis on existing stories and examined …
The Routledge Companion to Digital Journalism Studies
The digitization of journalistic practice, which took off notably with the growing popularity of online media towards the end of the previous millennium, has brought about a number of profound changes for journalism, but arguably none is more significant than the transformation of the relationship between journalists and their audiences.

Four Rumours and an Explanation: A political economic account of journalists’ changing newsgathering and reporting practices
Our analysis of 2207 domestic news reports in a structured sample of UK “quality” (the Guardian, The Times, the Independent and the Telegraph) and mid-market (Daily Mail) newspapers, revealed journalists’ extensive use of copy provided by public relations sources and news agencies, especially the UK-based Press Association. A political economic explanation for this reliance on news stories produced “outside the newsroom”, draws inspiration from G…

Drawing on the findings of an extensive study of local and regional newspaper reporting of the 2001 UK general election, this article contests the widely held view that readers' letters' pages provide a public forum for discussion and debate initiated by readers.
