ABOUT BOOK

"This book showcases various ways in which digital archives allow for new approaches to ~journalism history. The chapters in this book were selected based on three overall objectives: ~1) research that highlights specific concerns within journalism history through digital ~archives; 2) discussions ~of digital methodologies, as well as specific applications, that are ~accessible for journalism scholars with no prior experiences with such approaches; and ~3) that journalism history and digital archives are connected in other ways than through ~specific methods, i.e., that the connection raises larger questions of historiography and ~power. ~The contributions address cases and developments in Asia, South and North America ~and Europe; and range from long-range, big-data, machine-leaning and topic modelling ~studies of journalistic characteristics and meta-journalistic discourses to critiques of ~archival ~practices and access in relation to gender, social movements and poverty. ~The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Digital Journalism."
