This edited collection brings together journalism scholars from mainland China, Hong Kong, the UK and Australia to address a variety of pressing issues and challenges facing digital journalism in China today.

While China shares certain affinities with the digital disruption of media in other settings, its experience and articulation of change is ultimately unique. This volume explores the implications of digital media technologies for journalists' professional practice, news users' consumption and engagement with news, as well as the shifting institutional, organizational and financial structures of news media. Drawing on case studies and quantitative and qualitative approaches, contributors address questions concerning: whether China is witnessing 'disruptive' or 'sustainable' journalism; if, and in what ways, digital technologies may disrupt journalism; and whether Chinese digital journalism converges with or diverges from Western experiences of digital journalism.

Digital Journalism in China is an important addition to the literature on digital journalism, comparative media analysis, the Chinese Communist Party's social media strategies, tabloidization trends, and the conflict between newsroom and classroom in journalism education, and will be of interest to advanced students, scholars, and practitioners alike.

Industry Reviews

"Students and scholars of digital journalism will discover an array of perceptive insights into its evolution in China on these pages. Taken together, the chapters make an admirable contribution to theory-building, bringing to bear rich, evidence-led studies to extend fresh thinking about current challenges and future prospects. Familiar assumptions about Chinese journalism are certain to be disrupted to advantage."

Stuart Allan, Professor of Journalism and Communication, Cardiff University, UK
