Out of Print (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | George Brock | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Traditional newspapers are under threat. The emergence of citizen journalism, collaborative news websites and freebie news-sheets -- coupled with a catastrophic drop in ad revenue -- has pushed many to the brink. Papers around the world are cutting copy, editions and staff, moving online or closing down.

Due to the collision of technology, economics and social forces, the way we use information is constantly changing. As it's done many times before, journalism has to find its value all over again. George Brock proposes an optimistic outlook on journalism's future, taking the view that it was always unstable and likely, always will be.

Out of Print covers key issues such as: the increased competition from expansive radio and 24 hour television news channels; the emergence of free "Metro" papers; the delivery of news services on billboards, podcasts and mobile; the development of online editions, as well as the burgeoning of blogs, citizen journalists and User Generated Content.

Incisive and authoritative, Out of Print analyzes the role and influence of newspapers in the digital age and asks how they need to adapt to survive.
