10 Years of Digital Journalism (Studies): The Past, the Present, the Future

Abstract

The Digital Journalism editorial team is thrilled to introduce this 10th anniversary special issue. At the beginning of 2022, we invited our international editorial board to contribute to this important collection, which aims to explore the diverse and multi-disciplinary nature of digital journalism studies. We called for contributions that consider the "big picture" of the field and look at the past and the present of digital journalism studies. We also invited articles focusing on digital journalism studies for the future, considering trends, concepts, theories, methodologies, and key issues that will shape research in the decades ahead. This special issue features six articles, advancing systematic empirical assessments of developments in the field, as well as critical discussions around the developments and politics of digital journalism studies.
