Journalism in an Era of Big Data

What does big data mean for journalism? From the use of algorithms in the newsroom to the rise of automated news stories, this book explores cases, concepts, and critiques for making sense of data-centric practices and philosophies, and their implications for journalism—its norms and values, economics and ethics, and professional authority in the digital era. Altogether, this book offers a first step in understanding what big data means for journalism. This book was originally published as a special issue of Digital Journalism.
