Newsworkers

The last decade has seen a transformation of journalism industries and the working lives of our journalists. Do the changes have the same impact everywhere? Do journalists today experience these changes as a pressure or as a possibility? Is something irrevocably lost from journalism with these changes? <br/> <br/> <i>Newsworkers</i> takes a broad range of European countries - North and South East and West big and small - comparing in each how journalism as work has been affected by the changes in journalism institutions. The book looks at three pertinent and topical questions: the role of technology in changing journalism work practice; the decline or not of professional values; and whether journalism is becoming more homogenous across national borders. <br/> <br/> Drawing on extensive and original research the book provides a comprehensive picture of contemporary European journalism.
