Rezensionen

"The authors do an excellent job situating their study and the
concept of participation within the broader body of research and
theory on journalism, but also offer useful insights into the
practical realities of how journalists are addressing an
increasingly active audience in the newsroom today." (Journalism,
23 February 2012)



"Like its authors, half of whom are both journalists and
scholars, the book is also a hybrid - on the one hand, it serves as
a robust piece of empirical research and, on the other, it is an
excellent textbook for journalism students. This is evidently a
deliberate device by the authors who wish to make a contribution to
knowledge without alienating potential readers. The book is written
in clear, familiar English resembling more of a journalistic style
than an academic one, and each chapter ends with questions inviting
the reader (or lecturer) to discuss and probe issues. There is also
an effective glossary which explains terms which may be unfamiliar
to those starting out in the field."

Intended primarily as a textbook - each chapter concludes with
discussion questions - the volume provides an excellent starting
point for examining the implications of new ways of collecting and
disseminating what we call news." (Choice, 1 October 2011)


"The discipline of journalism studies is in dire need of approaches that move beyond zombie categories such as online/offline, hard/soft news, professional/citizen journalism. By investigating an emerging set of participatory practices in a truly cross-national context, the authors of this book show both theoretically and practically how the production of news is changing around the world. "
