"Digital journalism, also known as netizen journalism or online journalism, is a contemporary form of journalism where editorial content is distributed via the Internet, as opposed to publishing via print or broadcast. What constitutes digital journalism is debated by scholars; however, the primary product of journalism, which is news and features on current affairs, is presented solely or in combination as text, audio, video, or some interactive forms like storytelling stories or news games, and disseminated through digital media technology. Digital journalism flows as journalism flows and is difficult to pinpoint where it is and where it is going. In partnership with digital media, digital journalism uses facets of digital media to perform journalist tasks, for example, using the internet as a tool rather than a singular form of digital media. There is no absolute agreement as to what constitutes digital journalism. Today's journalists need a wide range of knowledge, technical skills, and digital savvy. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of online journalism. It is a must-have book for every practicing journalist or journalism student who wants to knowhow digital media can be effectively used." -- Back cover
