This book brings together a diverse, international array of contributors to explore the topics of news "quality" in the online age and the relationships between news organizations and enormously influential digital platforms such as Facebook, Google, and Twitter. Covering topics ranging from internet incivility, crowdsourcing, and YouTube politics to regulations, algorithms, and AI, this book draws the key distinction between the news that facilitates democracy from news that undermines it. For students and scholars as well as journalists, policymakers, and media commentators, this important work engages a wide range of methodological and theoretical perspectives to define the key concept of "quality" in the news media.

Industry Reviews

Praise for News Quality in the Digital Age

The book offers a wide range of methodological approaches to the study of news quality being delivered through various communication channels. With chapters ranging from computation science to a more political theory-oriented perspective, this project offers a lot of ways to introduce students to the vital issue of assessing the quality of news that is being produced these days for public consumption.

This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of journalism. While many are exploring how to limit disinformation online, this group of scholars is one of the first to consider fully the crucial question of how to define quality news and increase its dissemination. The text also explores the relationship between news quality and algorithms, how artificial intelligence is affecting news production and emerging public policy efforts with the potential to shore up a struggling journalism ecosystem. Lawrence and Napoli have pulled together a stellar team of researchers pushing discussions of journalism in a digital age in a new direction.
