TextSeries: Journalism studies : theory and practicePublisher: London : Routledge, 2018Description: xiv, 341 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 25 cmContent type: text | still image Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9780367143244 (pbk.) :Subject(s): Photojournalism | Citizen journalism | Amateur journalism | Media Studies | Media StudiesDDC classification: 070.4'9 Summary: If everyone with a smartphone can be a citizen photojournalist, who needs professional photojournalism? This rather flippant question cuts to the heart of a set of pressing issues, where an array of impassioned voices may be heard in vigorous debate. While some of these voices are confidently predicting photojournalism's impending demise as the latest casualty of Internet-driven convergence, others are heralding its dramatic rebirth, pointing to the democratisation of what was once the exclusive domain of the professional. Regardless of where one is situated in relation to these stark polarities, however, it is readily apparent that photojournalism is being decisively transformed across shifting, uneven conditions for civic participation in ways that raise important questions for journalism's forms and practices in a digital era.
