Summary:

"This volume explores innovations in journalism: the goals and expectations associated with them, promoting and hindering framework conditions, and their social and industrial impact. Drawing on an international research project conducted in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, and the UK, the book takes a complex approach, considering media policy preconditions and social impact of journalistic innovation from a comparative perspective. The key findings are examined and presented on different levels: theoretical, methodological, and - as the focus - empirical. Having identified the most relevant innovations in each of the five countries, a total of 100 case studies are examined to explore the influence of these innovations on the quality of journalism and its normative role in democratic societies, and to analyse which preconditions support or inhibit the development and implementation of the innovations in news organizations. The interdependencies between journalistic innovations and their media policy preconditions are compared in a system-analytical way - concluding with the lessons which can be learned from the macro level (policies) and the meso level (organizations). This insightful and truly international volume will interest professionals, scholars and students of journalism, media and communication studies, media industry studies and related fields"-- Provided by publisher.
