Convergence, journalism and news 2.0 -- Why is journalism in crisis? -- Globalization and the news industry crisis -- The end of the mainstream? -- Is this the end of journalism? -- Journalism in the age of YouTube -- We're all journalists now.

"There have never been so many ways of producing news and news-like content. From podcasts, to YouTube, blogs and the phenomenal popularity of social media, seismic shifts are underway in global media. News 2.0 bridges the gap between theory and practice to present an integrated approach to journalism that redefines the profession. Key ideas in journalism theory, political economy and media studies are used to explore the changing cultures of journalism in an historical context. Hirst explains the fragmentation of the mass audience for news products, and how digital commerce has disconnected consumers from real democracy. He argues that journalism requires a restatement of the role of journalists as public intellectuals with a commitment to truth, trust and the public interest."--Publisher description.
