New media has brought constant evolution to professional journalism
practices and news genres. Online news practices challenge the
occupational jurisdiction of journalism with a multiplicity of
conflicting and competing journalistic ideals. In order to prepare
journalism students to meet the demands of online journalism today,
journalism schools have developed courses that emphasize journalistic
practice on online news platforms and tools, such as Twitter,
WordPress.com, Soundslides Plus, etc. Drawing on the theoretical lens
of digital literacies, Multimedia News Storytelling as Digital
Literacies problematizes the emphasis on transmission of certain
professional values and news formats without raising students’
critical awareness that there can be diversity of values.
Methodologically, the present study proposes a genre-aware,
semiotic-aware, critical framework that aims at analyzing digital
literacies required and practiced by online journalists. It
simultaneously encompasses dimensions of professional culture,
professional practices, and abstraction of instantiated meaning making
via multimodal semiotic resources. Multimedia News Storytelling as
Digital Literacies is ideal for courses in journalism and mass
communication, curriculum studies, and digital literacies. The book is
a valuable resource for online journalism educators, journalism
students, and online journalism practitioners.
