Abstract

Professor Pablo J. Boczkowski shares in this Dialogue his insights and observations derived from more than a decade of research on the impact of digitization on the journalism landscape. He explains the continual relevance of the key concepts and findings from his earliest research to the contemporary media environment and at the same time introduces his most recent research findings and observations about the "news gap". Professor Boczkowski summarizes the main trends in the transformation of online news in the digital age, and he points out that the increasing visibility of various social fields constitutes a trend that can have tremendous implications on not only journalism but also on social change at large.
