Excellent- More about Smartphones and the News

This research text is valuable for journalism students and scholars interested in digital journalism, new media, and technology and communication.

The smartphone has had a profound impact on the news, transforming it from an authoritative and fixed 'first draft of history' to a fluid and flexible stream of information that individuals can construct their own meanings from. This shift has disrupted not only the industry but also the global significance of the news. With the proliferation of five billion smartphones, the news has become fragmented, challenging the traditional model of journalism.
This book explores how the smartphone has changed the production of journalism through various contributions, including the involvement of the general public, the dominance of visual over textual media, the trend towards brevity, the challenges of verification, and the opportunities offered by multi-skilled mobile journalists (MoJOs). It examines the ways in which news is promoted and distributed via smartphones, particularly on social media platforms.
Furthermore, the book considers how news on smartphones fits into consumers' lives and how their use of smartphones to access news is impacting the production of news itself. This research text is valuable for journalism students and scholars interested in digital journalism, new media, and the intersection between technology and communication. It provides insights into the evolving landscape of news consumption and offers valuable perspectives on the future of journalism in the digital age.
