Some examples of networked journalism
Networked journalism has gone from being a novelty to the normality of journalism online today. In fact, it’s difficult to find journalism that does not have an element of interactivity, connectivity, or public participation at some point in its creation or dissemination. Here are some examples that my students found to bring to their class discussions about what difference it makes to journalism when it gets networked. Here they are in no particular order. It’s a feast of editorial innovation, diversity and controversy.
What is networked journalism?
Here’s a Guardian article I wrote back in 2008 when it was still new
I wrote a book about networked journalism back in 2008 called SuperMedia.
We published a report on networked journalism back in 2010
Here are the networked journalism case studies suggested by the students who do my critical studies course at LSE. The students had to explain why these were particularly networked and what difference it made to the journalism and its impact. Feel free to add your own examples or comments:
