Network Journalism

<p>Drawing on current theoretical debates in journalism studies and grounded in empirical research Heinrich here analyzes the interplay between journalistic practice and processes of globalization and digitalization. She argues that a new kind of journalism is emerging characterized by an increasingly global flow of news as well as a growing number of news deliverers. Within this transformed news sphere the roles of journalistic outlets change. They become nodes arranged in a dense net of information gatherers producers and disseminators. The interactive connections among these news providers constitute what Heinrich calls the sphere of network journalism.</p>
