- concepts and contexts e.g. the public sphere, the information society, etc.

- developments in the media e.g.convergence, the digital divide, etc.

- issues of the post-journalism era e.g. deprofessionalisation, civic participation, etc.

- digitization and newswork and newswork setting e.g. CAJ, online journalism, etc.

- the functions of Journalism e.g. democractic, deliberative, etc.

The papers take a deliberately international stance and use a wide range of case-studies and methodological positions.

This book will be welcomed by readers seeking to understand the global digital process and journalism and those studying Journalism, Mass Communication, Cultural Studies and Sociology.
