Notes de l'éditeur
Literature Roots in computer-assisted reporting Philip Meyer, 1967 Tufte: graphics visualization Adrian Holovaty - “programmer as journalist” Northwestern University: Knight Grant in 2007 to recruit programmers to master's program Brian Boyer: Sixth W - Web Columbia University: MS in Journalism/Computer Science Theory Understanding newsroom processes and routines Schudson: Social meaning of news - political economy, sociological organization, cultural organization Zelitzer: four frames – performance, narrative, ritual and interpretive Ethnography - “ only ethnographic methodologies derived from anthropological and sociological traditions can come close to providing an adequate description of the culture and practice of media production, and the mindset of media producers.” Hybrid culture – technology and journalism News products, and ultimately change, are not the result of one force or set of forces, but a complete system that encompasses the organization, individual actors and the culture that surrounds them.
