The Media Convergence Handbook sheds new light on the complexity of media convergence and the related business challenges. Approaching the topic from a managerial, technological as well as end-consumer perspective, it acts as a reference book and educational resource in the field. Media convergence at business level may imply transforming business models and using multiplatform content production and distribution tools. However, it is shown that the implementation of convergence strategies can only succeed when expectations and aspirations of every actor involved are taken into account. Media consumers, content producers and managers face different challenges in the process of media convergence. Volume I of the Media Convergence Handbook encourages an active discourse on media convergence by introducing the concept through general perspective articles and addressing the real-world challenges of conversion in the publishing, broadcasting and social media sectors

Abstract: Citizen Journalism is the foundation of journalism across the world. Also, Human's instinctive virtue of curiosity, to know the unknown, to explore the unseen, and to gain knowledge about the undiscovered, has gotten us started on many great things over time and journalism is surely one of the bests of all. Citizen journalism is also known as public participatory, democratic, guerrilla, or straight journalism means ordinary people who are not professional journalists collecting and distributing information via the internet. This version of journalism may go extremely wrong if it is not monitored under lawful administration. It may also increase the vices of rumors. The paper argues for the monitoring of citizen journalism in Bangladesh in a way that doesn't control freedom of expression. At the same, it shall not be the cause of rumors and various other wrongs.

This article aims to contribute to a critical research agenda for investigating the democratic implications of citizen journalism and social news. The article calls for a broad conception of 'citizen journalism' which is (1) not an exclusively online phenomenon, (2) not confined to explicitly 'alternative' news sources, and (3) includes 'metajournalism' as well as the practices of journalism itself. A case is made for seeing democratic implications not simply in the horizontal or 'peer-to-peer' public sphere of citizen journalism networks, but also in the possibility of a more 'reflexive' culture of news consumption through citizen participation. The article calls for a research agenda that investigates new forms of gatekeeping and agenda-setting power within social news and citizen journalism networks and, drawing on the example of three sites, highlights the importance of both formal and informal status differentials and of the software 'code' structuring these new modes of news production.

Journalism education historically has been based upon association, and later integration, with the social sciences, and the trend in accredited schools is toward a better definition of the aims and purposes of social science instruction for journalism students, according to this survey.

The article discusses the role of social media in relation to the traditional journalistic sphere in Uganda. Through an analysis of how journalists in three Ugandan newspapers use social media in their daily work, the article discusses how social media affect conventional sourcing practices, reportage and professional norms. The article is particularly interested in how Facebook and Twitter serve as alternative channels through which sources with less access to traditional means of communication get their message(s) across to journalists. The findings are discussed in light of the present development of social media legislation in Uganda. The discussions feed into a larger reflection on social media's potential to create avenues of access in a semi-democratic setting where attempts to curtail media freedom and freedom of expression are frequent. ; This study was supported with funding from the Norhed Project UGA 13-0015, Bridging Gaps Building Futures for the research and authorship of this article. ; publishedVersion
