Reviews"This well-researched plea for deliberately reflective journalism practice is bound to inspire debate and productive follow-up inquiry." --R. Pagano Choice, "Min takes us on a highly readable journey through a history of technological innovations and journalism. But what is their purpose and effect? The book argues that media organisations should slow down and research the effects on producers, consumers and our society before they invest in the 'new' for its own sake. A fascinating development in the scholarship around slow journalism." --Megan Le Masurier, editor of Slow Journalism, "This well-researched plea for deliberately reflective journalism practice is bound to inspire debate and productive follow-up inquiry." --R.

SynopsisNews organizations have always sought to deliver information faster and to larger audiences. But when clicks drive journalism, the result is often simplistic, sensational, and error-ridden reporting. In this book, Seong Jae Min argues in favor of "slow journalism," a growing movement that aims to produce more considered, deliberate reporting that better serves the interests of democracy. Min explores the role of technology in journalism from the printing press to artificial intelligence, documenting the hype and hope associated with each new breakthrough as well as the at times disappointing-and even damaging-unintended consequences. His analysis cuts through the discussion of clickbait headlines and social-media clout chasing to identify technological bells and whistles as the core problem with journalism today. At its heart, Min maintains, traditional shoe-leather reporting-knocking on doors, talking to people, careful observation and analysis-is still the best way for journalism to serve its civic purpose. Thoughtful and engaging, Rethinking the New Technology of Journalism offers a compelling call for news gathering to return to its roots. Reporters, those studying and teaching journalism, and avid consumers of the media will be interested in this book., News organizations have always sought to deliver information faster and to larger audiences.
