Edited by Paterson (University of Leeds, UK) and Domingo (U. of Iowa), this book contains research and essays that focus on how online journalism differs from more traditional news frameworks, and how these new fields actually employ ethnographic methodologies first developed by sociologists in the 1960s. Contributors from all over the world cover such topics as the emergence of online journalism as a viable news source, and how old and new routines are often combines in these environments. Much of the information is presented in an objective, almost clinical manner, which should appeal to the sensibilities of its intended audience--primarily journalism students.
