Reconstructing Journalism Norms analyses the evolution of the principles that define the role of journalism in society and how they are challenged by changes in the cultural, political and economic landscape. David Domingo explores conceptual issues relating to journalism's social purpose, such as the construction of journalistic norms, the impact of digital practices, and opportunities to reconstruct ideas of journalism's role through theoretical and practical challenges. Related critical debates are also investigated, including the political-economy of journalism, the dispersion of news production, and the role of journalism in politics, and citizens in journalism.
