<br/><br/> This book examines the changes facing journalism in its relationships with the communities it serves and the audiences for news and public affairs it seeks to address. It looks at changes in technology which have blurred the lines between professionals and citizens and considers in particular the emerging use of blogs.  Journalism is in the middle of sweeping changes in its relationships with the communities it serves, and the audiences for news and public affairs it seeks to address. Changes in technology have blurred the lines between professionals and citizens, partisan and objective bystanders, particularly in the emerging public zones of the blogosphere. This volume examines these changes and the new concepts needed to understand them in the days and years ahead. With contributions from up-and-coming scholars, this collection identifies key issues and paves the way forfurther research on the role of journalism in today's world. It will appeal to scholars, researchers, and advanced students in journalism, communication, and media studies, and will also be of interest to those in public affairs, political science, and government.
