Emergent Journalism and Mass Media Paradigms in the Digital Society

Carlos Elias

Chapter 2 in Emerging Digital Spaces in Contemporary Society, 2010, pp 37-49 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract “Life is more and more about being glued to the screen or being online.” This is how Gilles Lipovetsky and Jean Serroy, authors of La pantalla global (The Global Screen), characterize the extent to which the Internet has altered our way of life. “Journalism Wounded but Not Dead,” “Death to the Leading Journalists!,” “Long Live Citizen Journalism!,” and “The Post-Journalism Era in the Digital Society.” Titles such as these from recent media studies conferences could make up this entire chapter, as a sign of the tremendous insecurity the new technologies have triggered in this field. No one foresaw this great revolution, not even a few years ago. One of the very few exceptions, perhaps, was Alvin Toffler in his book entitled The Third Wave (Toffler 1980), in which, for the first time, there is reference to “several-to-several” communication as well as to the progressive “demassification” of media production and the resulting emergence of personalized media communication.
