"In this current period of uncertainty and introspection in the media, New Journalisms focuses not just on new challenges facing journalism, but also seeks to capture a wide range of new practices that are being employed across a diversity of media. This edited collection explores how these new practices can lead to a re-imagining of journalism in terms of practice, theory and pedagogy, bringing together high-profile academics, emerging researchers and well-known journalism practitioners. The book's opening chapters assess the challenges of loss of trust and connectivity, shifting professional identity and the demise of local journalism. A section on new practices evaluates algorithms, online participatory news websites and verification. Finally, the collection explores whether new pedagogies offer potential routes to new journalisms. Representing a timely intervention in the debate and providing sustainable impact through its forward-looking focus, New Journalisms is essential reading for students of journalism and media studies"--
