Summary

Democratizing Journalism through Mobile Media explores the transformative impact of mobile technologies on journalism. Author Ivo Burum highlights the shift from traditional to alternative journalism, the transition from analogue to digital workflows, and the move from PC-based to mobile platforms. This results in a continuous 24-hour news cycle and shapes a new "common digital language" that connects community, education, and mainstream media. The book advocates embracing digital literacies to bridge gaps in journalism's commercial challenges, community marginalisation, and educational curricula.

Description

Fueled by a distrust of big media and the development of mobile technologies, the resulting convergence of journalism praxis (professional to alternative), workflows (analogue to multipoint digital), and platforms (PC to mobile), result in a 24-hour always-on content cycle.

The information revolution is a paradigm shift in the way we develop and consume information, in particular the type we call news. While many see this cultural shift as ruinous, Burum sees it as an opportunity to utilize the converging information flow to create a galvanizing and common digital language across spheres of communication: community, education, and mainstream media.

Embracing the digital literacies researched in Democratizing Journalism through Mobile Media will create an information bridge with which to traverse journalism’s commercial precarity, the marginalization of some communities, and the journalism school curricula.
