Summary
Leading scholars chart the future of studies on technology and journalism in the digital age.
The use of digital technology has transformed the way news is produced, distributed, and received. Just as media organizations and journalists have realized that technology is a central and indispensable part of their enterprise, scholars of journalism have shifted their focus to the role of technology. In Remaking the News, leading scholars chart the future of studies on technology and journalism in the digital age.
These ongoing changes in journalism invite scholars to rethink how they approach this dynamic field of inquiry. The contributors consider theoretical and methodological issues; concepts from the social science canon that can help make sense of journalism; the occupational culture and practice of journalism; and major gaps in current scholarship on the news: analyses of inequality, history, and failure.

Arriving at a moment of extreme disruption in journalism as both practice and business, Boczkowski and Anderson's collection Remaking the News will anchor scholarship in the field for years. Insights on the future of the field of journalism studies—the answers to 'what if' questions—are in this collection and the future of news may well be shaped by the ideas in it.
