"This book offers a timely insight into how the news media have adapted to the digital transformation of public communication infrastructure. Providing a conceptual roadmap to understanding the disruptive, innovative impact of digital networked journalism in the 21st century, the author critically examines how and to what extent news media around the world have engaged in digital adaptation. Making use of data from news media content production and distribution both off- and online, as well as user and financial data from the U.S and internationally, the book traces how the news media embraced and reacted to key developments such as the invention of the World Wide Web in 1989, the launch of Google in 1998, Facebook in 2004 and the Apple iPhone in 2009. The author also highlights innovative organisations that have sought to reimagine news media that are optimized for digital, online, and mobile media of the 21st century, demonstrating how these groups have been able to stay better engaged with the public. Disruption and Digital Journalism is recommended reading for all academics and scholars with an interest in media, digital journalism studies, and technological innovation"--

Digital technologies have fundamentally altered the nature and function of media in our society, reinventing age-old practices of public communication and at times circumventing traditional media and challenging its privileged role as gatekeepers of news and entertainment. Some critics believe these technologies keep the public involved in an informed discourse on matters of public importance, but it isn't clear this is happening on a large scale. Propaganda disguised as news is flourishing, and though interaction with the digital domain teaches children valuable skills, it can also expose the

O ensaio analisa quatro das diferenças mais importantes do ciberjornalismo frente ao jornalismo convencional. Primeiramente, o trabalho prático e os métodos de produção dos jornalistas diferem-se na arena cibernética, particularmente no que diz respeito a novas ferramentas e técnicas, incluindo a possibilidade de pesquisas e relatórios online, drones e sensores em rede (a Internet das Coisas, por exemplo), bem como o aumento de automação das notícias, o que envolve algoritmos, bancos de dados e inteligência artificial (IA). Segundo, o ciberjornalismo traz mudanças na estrutura, no sistema e na natureza organizacional da indústria de notícias, incluindo fatores econômicos, regulatórios e legais. Terceiro, o relacionamento entre a mídia e o público está em mutação, especialmente no campo das mídias sociais e do chamado jornalismo cidadão. Por fim, o surgimento da mídia experimental tem dado origem a novas e mais envolventes formas de construção de conteúdos e de narrativas, incluindo a realidade aumentada (RA) e a realidade virtual (RV).

Drones are shaping journalism in a variety of ways including in the production of immersive news content. This article identifies, describes and analyzes, or maps out, four areas in which drones are impacting immersive news content. These include: 1) enabling the possibility of providing aerial perspective for first-person perspective flight-based immersive journalism experiences; 2) providing geo-tagged audio and video for flight-based immersive news content; 3) providing the capacity for both volumetric and 360 video capture; and 4) generating novel content types or content based on data acquired from a broad range of sensors beyond the standard visible light captured via video cameras; these may be a central generator of unique experiential media content beyond visual flight-based news content.

Policy makers, industry leaders, and concerned citizens alike all face vexing questions about the changing nature of emerging technology and its impact on journalism, media and society. Research on this topic has never been more critical in the U.S. and around the world. The need is especially acute for engaged scholarship in this domain. By bringing their research into the broader public arena, engaged media scholars can contribute to policy debates, shape industry practices and policies, and enrich public understanding.
