Journalism and Technological ChangeMartin SchreiberIllustratedLabel: Campus VerlagDescription: Technology media and journalism are closely related both in the present time and from a historical perspective. New technologies however only develop their specific potential within the cultural and social contexts in which they are created and applied and through which they are interconnected. This volume not only considers the implementation-the successes and failures-of new media technologies but also the influence these technologies have had both on the practical demands and internal processes of media companies and on the professional roles social positions and self-perceptions of journalists. A thorough interdisciplinary synthesis covering more than one hundred and fifty years of media in Europe and the United States this innovative book reveals a continuum of technological social and cultural developments across journalistic history.
