This groundbreaking book is a pioneering exploration into the realm of 'social news,' a novel form of journalism that has emerged in response to the transformative impact of social media. Drawing upon the authors extensive research into the intersection of news and social media platforms, Social News offers a critical examination of the rise of prominent outlets such as BuzzFeed, Mic, Junkee, and Pedestrian in the United States and Australia.
In his insightful analysis, Hurcombe argues that these outlets have achieved remarkable success by strategically harnessing the power of social media, creating engaging and personalized content tailored specifically for millennials. While their approach has garnered criticism for deviating from traditional standards of quality journalism, this book reveals how social news has provided a valuable platform for marginalized voices and has successfully engaged readers who have been overlooked by legacy news outlets.
It is important to note that while social media is often perceived as a threat to the traditional news industry, Social News demonstrates that digital platforms have actually been catalysts for the emergence of new and innovative forms of journalism. These digital platforms challenge our preconceived notions of what journalism is, what it can be, and what it should be, fostering a more inclusive and diverse media landscape.
Through its comprehensive and insightful examination, Social News offers valuable insights into the evolving landscape of media and journalism, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities that arise in the digital age. Whether you are a media professional, a student, or simply an interested observer, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking to navigate the complex and rapidly changing world of social news and media.
