Full Description
Storytelling is at the centre of journalism practice. It is the key for
communicating with the audience and it exerts a heavy influence over how
news is perceived in the public sphere. In the digital era the way in
which journalists tell stories is undergoing a dramatic shift. New media
offer new possibilities, while they at the same time stimulate
traditional media to search for new venues to convey their stories in an
attractive and authoritative way. This volume addresses how journalism
tries to find and craft new forms and genres of storytelling. It
questions how these transitions stimulate new journalistic practices and
shift the institutional function and ethics of journalism. What does it
means to tell newsworthy and trustworthy stories in a digital age?
