*NEW PUBLICATION*

We are pleased to announce the publication of Eyewitness Textures: User-Generated Content & Journalism in the 21st Century<https://www.mqup.ca/eyewitness-textures-products-9780228019237.php>, by McGill-Queen's University Press (edited by Michael Lithgow and Michèle Martin). Eyewitness Textures offers a collection of papers exploring the important and far-reaching changes taking place in professional journalism in connection with user-generated digital content.

Description

Bringing together the voices and experiences of professional journalists and academic researchers from across five continents, this collection explores news production practices, changing skills among editors and journalists, and corporate and newsroom restructuring. Chapters by practitioners collectively reflect the newsroom experiences of major global media organizations, while the academic contributions address issues of industrial transformation, political influence, truth and verification, aesthetics, and ideological implications. Both perspectives combine to deepen our understanding of what constitutes the conditions and creation of good journalism, as well as the implications of how the profession should be taught to future journalists.

Review

“This book explores the breadth of new dimensions crucial to understanding the implications of user-generated content today. While this kind of content has become commonplace, the blurred distinctions between it and citizen witnessing, or between witnessing in general and the processes of publication, are not easily resolved. The global case studies and dialogues in Eyewitness Textures constitute a particularly thoughtful and enriching discussion that moves beyond the familiar accounts of user-generated content we are so used to hearing.” Scott A. Eldridge II, University of Groningen and author of Online Journalism from the Periphery: Interloper Media and the Journalistic Field
