The most comprehensive book I've read on the issues facing online journalism in the UK. Digital Journalism manages to combine an understanding of technological and cultural developments with a commercial and political awareness that prevents it falling into the trap of technological determinism. Essential reading for journalism students Paul BradshawCity University and Birmingham City University Digital Journalism uses current language to tell the story of journalism in transition. Using historical context, contemporary examples, and relevant theory, Jones and Salter discuss the meaning of digital technology for the practice of journalism. Their approach is globally focused and examines how different traditions of journalism adopt and adapt to technological innovation, creating new cultures of journalism and redefining existing ones. A must read for students and practitioners of online journalismZizi PapacharissiUniversity of Illinois at Chicago Janet Jones and Lee Salter contribute an engaged and engaging analysis of journalism in the digital age that dispenses with the cheer-leading and the doom-mongering that all too frequently drown out more subtle voices. Their book discusses new and emerging technologies within the political, economic, cultural and social contexts that are so vital to an understanding of what is going on around us. Digital Journalism is highly recommended reading for journalists and scholars alikeTony HarcupUniversity of Sheffield Janet Jones and Lee Salter have condesed a vast array of information about the theory and practice of journalism before, but mostly after, the 'digital disruption' of media. The book leads with an insightful introduction that sketches out contemporary journalism as a practice with historically entrenched concepts facing transition... Most of Jones and Salter's examples are drawn from the UK media, but Digital Journalism has a global perspective, and Australian readers will be able to find some references to local cases... The content of the chapters is well sourced and referenced, and the book unfolds in a logical way... A comprehensive guide to the state of journalism, the book will be invaluable to students of journalism.Ekaterina LoyMedia International Australia

An enjoyable and informative analysis of journalism in the modern age

this book will be used by my students as it it applies to all forms of journalism as well as radio production.

Miss Rachael Rodgers, Digital media , Doncaster College

This title is recommended reading, among similar ones and journal articles, for my Year 1 Social Media students.

Mr Aleksandar Kocic, Journalism, Edinburgh Napier University

A great read. The chapter on mobile journalism was particuarly useful and the final pages make for a fascinating insight and vision. I would definately reccomend this book for any journalism student and aspiring digital journalist.

Mr Alex Fenton, School of Media, Music & Performance, Salford University

An essential introduction to the changed landscape of journalism with a very strong theoretical framework from the authors. Illuminating and thought-provoking,

Mr Dave Porter, Journalism, Information and Communications, Manchester Metropolitan University

Very useful primer

Mr Paul Lashmar, School of Arts, Brunel University

Too focussed on the US market

Mr Sean Dodson, Faculty of Business and Law, Leeds Metropolitan University

This introductory survey has proved useful for both Level 4 and Level 5 students. Not only are the Level 5 students studying the Intro to Print and Online Journalism Production module being recommended the book, but Level 4 students on the UK News Reporting module are also using it. It's an accessible and wide-ranging book.

Mr Steven Harrison, Journalism , Liverpool John Moores University

This book is very useful for anyone looking to have better understanding of a new journalism. However, it would be better if both authors consider to have extra chapters on digital journalism practices in Asia (maybe) for their next edition.

Mrs Noor Adzrah Ramle, Faculty of Leadership and Management, Islamic Science University of Malaysia

An intelligent and comprehensive examination of the financial and political drivers underlying the digital age.Jones and Salter provide a detailed and fascinating insight into the advent of online journalism; its impact in society and on the news industry whilst explaining how and why it has been both embraced and, at times, resisted by news organisations.Whilst, the language and terms of reference, at times, maybe regarded as a little overly complex for the student reader, this is an excellent text to support all inquiry into new media.

Ms Gail Mellors, Journalism , Derby University

A key text in the study of how online technologies are being applied by journalists and are affecting journalism today.

Ms Mary Williams, School of Social Historical and Literary Studies, Portsmouth University

Great introduction to the principles of digital journalism. The early chapters in particular will prove useful to the students, as it demonstrates how other mediums have impacted upon journalism in the past.

Ms Sarah Cooper, Faculty of Creative Technologies, Leeds Metropolitan University

It does not fall into clear category of either a) fully up-to-date "how to" or b) fully reflective and deep contextual analysis "
