Question

Discuss the changing structure of newsroom in the context of advent of new media.

Answer 1

Based on a review of online newsroom studies, this chapter tries to shed light on the processes of innovation in journalism.

On the one hand, it looks from a structuralist and institutional perspective at the economic, organizational and professional factors shaping the adoption of new tools and practices in newsrooms.

On the other hand, it discusses the role of agency by looking at the ways in which both human and non-human actors negotiate the changes in journalism through their everyday practices.
