Valuable contributions to characterize a changing news landscape from various perspectives

This is an excellent book which offers a comprehensive examination of different topics relevant to the fields of New Media and Journalim

A very useful collection with new research and a coherent overview of emerging trends in journalism. This is not just a collection of interesting and timely essays but there is a thread running through the book which builds a comprehensive and insightful picture of the state of the media today.

I would definitely recommend this book for my online journalism module to give students a contextual understanding of the economic, social and technological issues surrounding digital news. It will be added to the reading list.

. Adopted as essential for the course

This book gives a real historical overview and big picture analysis of the the digital age. The chapter on Technology foretold was particuarly useful.

A collection of rich theoretical references. It covers many relevant new media/online journalism themes.

A most useful book. Highly recommended.

Excellent and timely look at the challenges posed to journalism by new media.

Natalie Fenton and her colleagues present a fascinating collection of studies into the impact of the digital age on how journalists gather and deliver news. New Media Old News will be of great interest to students who wish to explore this topic in greater depth.

This book has been recommended to my students. It's a very clear and recent analysis of a fast changing industry. There are a good selection of contributors to this collection of articles. Many of the chapters engage with new media and online reporting in a direct and practical way. Edinburgh Napier University is very focused on weaving together theory with practical advice and training so this book is very useful.

This offers a comprehensive study of how journalism and democracy has been affected by since the web was invented.
Its strength is the plurality of voices used and the depth of academic content. However, the fact it remains accessible to all levels of undergraduate study is vital.

An interesting and very topical book that may be recommended to students following various courses that examine questions related to global journalism and media ethics in an online context.

This will be useful for my alternative media students (other journalism students would also benefit from reading it).

It's good to see some of the 'new media' hype tested and questioned.

One minor quibble: several authors are guilty of wrongly attributing the term 'churnalism' to Nick Davies. Is this not a lazy form of 'academic churnalism'?

This is a most welcome and much needed collection of essays on the current crisis in the journalistic field. It blows a hole in many of the current myths about this subject, and is a really major contribution to the study not simply of journalism but of the contemporary media. One of the sharpest edited collections on the media which I've ever encountered.

very good examination of the impact of new technology, a subject which is part of the course I teach

I think this book's strenghts are its timeliness and the variety of topics it covers, which allows me to include this up to date inforation in my lectures. I also think that the students will enjoy reading several of these chapters (including Fenton's introduction, and Phillips on news sources). I also like how the book addresses the power of the internet to engage people (or not). The international context is also important as many of our students come from various backgrounds so its nice to hear from other places aside from the UK or Britain.

A thorough and critical assessment of the changing role of journalism and news

It is very useful book but cannot reccomend it as essential because the course is much broader than the book. Nonetheless, for 2 or 3 of the lectures it will be aong the core reccomended texts.
