Reporting on Race in a Digital Era
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-35220-2 (ISBN)
This book explores U.S. news media's 21st century reckoning with race, from the election of President Barack Obama, through the birth and growth of the Black Lives Matter movement, to the tense weeks after a white police officer killed an unarmed African American teenager in Ferguson, Missouri. While legacy newsrooms struggled to interpret complex events, a diverse group of digital storytellers used emerging technologies. Veteran journalist and media scholar Carolyn Nielsen examines how the first two decades of this century produced new models for journalists to explore the complexity of racism, amplify the voices of lived experience, and understand their audiences. Using critical analysis of news coverage and interviews with reporters who cover racial issues, the book shows how new models of journalism break with legacy journalism's conceptions of objectivity, expertise, and news judgment to provide deeper understanding of systems of power.
Carolyn Nielsen is Associate Professor of Journalism at Western Washington University, USA. Her research examines newsroom sociology, technology, and news coverage of racial issues. Prior to becoming a Professor, she spent a decade working as an award-winning newspaper reporter and editor.
