Journalism is in transition. Irrevocable decisions are being made, often based on flimsy evidence, which could change not only the future of journalism, but also the future of democracy. This book, based on extensive research, provides the opportunity to reflect upon these decisions and considers how journalism could change for the better and for the good of democracy. It covers:

• the business landscape


• work and employment


• the regulatory framework


• audiences and interaction


• the impact of technology on practices and content


• ethics in a converged world

The book analyses research in both national and local journalism, broadcast, newspaper and online journalism, broadsheet and tabloid, drawing comparisons between the different outlets in the field of news journalism, making this essential reading for scholars and students of journalism and media studies.

'Although its focus is the UK, the content is pertinent for US-based readers interested in journalism, mass media, or communication. The chapters are well written, and a helpful bibliography is provided. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals.' – R. A. Logan, Emeritus, University of Missouri, Columbia, CHOICE

'Changing Journalism provides a solid and well-developed analysis of past predictions of change and crisis, and evaluates how those predictions have measured up. It steeps past prognostication in more critical review, and provides a platform to advance studies. Going forward, Changing Journalism has set the stage for more measured discussions about journalism in many respects, and should provide a useful reference point and resource for academics and observers of the ever-shifting changes journalism faces.' Scott Eldridge II, Digital Journalism
