Rethinking Research Methods in an Age of Digital JournalismAuthor(s): Michael Karlsson, Helle Sjvaag\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138070523, 978-1138070523\nSynopsis\nThe digital infrastructure of media production, dissemination and consumption is becoming increasingly complex, presenting the challenge of how we should research the digital journalism environment. Digital journalism takes many forms we therefore need to revise, improve, adjust and even invent methods to understand emerging forms of journalism. \n\nIn this book, scholars at the forefront of methodological innovations in digital journalism research share their insights on how to collect, process and analyse the diverse expressions of digital journalism, including online news, search results, hyperlinks and social media posts. As digital journalism content often comes in the form of big data, many of these new approaches depart from the traditio.
