A History of Disruptive Journalism Technologies provides a swift analysis of the most disruptive information-transmitting and processing technologies of the twentieth century up to the advent of the internet. By examining how landmark disruptive technologies were both driven by, and helped to drive, innovations in news coverage and publication, the book takes a social-construction and social-shaping perspective that emphasizes the agency of news workers without ignoring the larger industry and economic forces that have impacted newsrooms. This history of media technology provides a vital perspective on what trends witnessed today by both journalism studies scholars and practitioners might be worth paying attention to, and which may not. This book is aimed at journalism studies instructors and students, as well as interested working journalists.
