"The Routledge Handbook of Developments in Digital Journalism Studies offers a unique and authoritative collection of essays which report on, and address, the significant issues and focal debates shaping the innovative field of digital journalism studies. In the short time this field has grown, aspe ... cts of journalism have moved from the digital niche to the digital mainstay and digital innovations have been 'normalized' into everyday journalistic practice. These cycles of disruption and normalization support this book's central claim that we are witnessing the emergence of digital journalism studies as a discrete academic field. Essays bring together the research and reflections of internationally distinguished academics, journalists, teachers, and researchers, to help make sense of a re-conceptualized journalism and its effects on journalism's products, processes, resources, and the relationship between journalists and their audiences. The handbook also discusses the complexities and challenges in studying digital journalism and shines light on previously unexplored areas of inquiry such as aspects of digital resistance, protest and minority voices."
