As editors Pablo Boczkowski and C. W. Anderson explain in the introduction to Remaking the News, this is a collection of essays “about the relationship between technology and journalism.” The “technology” is, of course, digital and the “journalism” is pretty much everything that digital technologies touch—both in production and circulation—across a vast landscape of computer-enabled reportage, from the trivial to the profound. What an ambitious undertaking! Yet the ambition is not misplaced. There is serious scholarship here, organized across four sections that embrace and interrogate broad categories: theory and methodology; key concepts; occupational culture and practice; and underexamined themes. Furthermore, unlike many collected works, Remaking the News does not suffer from inconsistency, wherein one or two disappointing contributions tend to spoil the effect of the whole. On the contrary, this is an extraordinarily even presentation where the reader can be assured of taking away something of value from each essay on offer. And should the trajectory of a section become somehow muddled there are helpful commentaries by senior scholars to help us resituate thematic purpose.
