Description
Digital technologies are threatening the business model of newspaper journalism. However, digital technology also offers enormous potential for journalists to be able to connect with news sources and audiences around the world. The researcher interviewed Walkley Award finalists to find out what technologies and techniques are being used by leading investigative reporters in Australia. The findings reveal that social media platforms and web based communications are being used creatively to report stories that would not otherwise have been possible. Journalists are also collaborating with other reporters; and media outlets are collaborating with each other, increasing the socio-political impact of their work.
Impact and interest:
