Journalism has changed dramatically since then, as new media technologies, starting with the telegraph and telephone to internet and weblogs, has made it possible to find out about events without actually being on the site. The innovation, broad diffusion and rapid adoption of new media technologies have brought dramatic, transformational changes in the way journalism is practiced, conducted and disseminated.

It leads readers through the myriad ways in which digital technologies have had an impact on the practice of journalism, from he way reporters gather information and present news stories to how newsrooms structure themselves and do business. It provides the practical techniques and theoretical knowledge that underpin the fundamental skills of reporters and editors. It will be an essential reading for students on journalism courses and media professionals looking for a reference that covers the skill, technology and knowledge required for the digital age.
