iedenen Medien – es bedeutet vielmehr, dass man sich über den richtigen Content im richtigen Kontext Gedanken machen muss. Wie dies geht, zeigt der Autor in diesem Buch systematisch und anhand von zahlreichen Beispielen aus der Praxis. Er holt die Journalisten in Zeitungen, Radio, Fernsehen oder Internet ab und vermittelt ihnen die notwendigen Kenntnisse, die sie benötigen, um über die Mediengrenzen hinweg zu publizieren und Texte, Fotos, Audios und Videos miteinander zu vernetzen. Dabei geht es nicht nur um neue Technologien, sondern darum, die angemessenen journalistischen Darstellungs- und Stilmittel für die jeweilige Zielgruppe einzusetzen. Die zweite Auflage wurde überarbeitet und um ein Kapitel zum Thema »Soziale Netzwerke« bzw. »Soziale Medien« erweitert." (Verlagsbeschreibung)

that our community voices are still at the center of our reporting? And as we hunker down in front of our laptops in our makeshift home offices, what tools are available to stay connected with our newsrooms, sources and our communities?

We’ve tapped their experience to bring together this guide designed to make remote work newbies look like #WFH veterans.

Special attention is paid to the late Syrian filmmaker and pro-democracy activist, Bassel Shehadeh, and the video-resistance from Aleppo and Raqqa against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad and the Islamic State."

cting photojournalism's impending demise as the latest casualty of internet-driven convergence, others are heralding its dramatic rebirth, pointing to the democratisation of what was once the exclusive domain of the professional. Regardless of where one is situated in relation to these stark polarities, however, it is readily apparent that photojournalism is being decisively transformed across shifting, uneven conditions for civic participation in ways that raise important questions for journalisms forms and practices in a digital era.
