Abstract
Television news has come a long way from the days when millions of Americans gathered around in unison to watch Edward R. Murrow take on Joseph McCarthy on See it Now. The consumption of news today, in comparison, is anything but synchronized. In addition to hundreds of TV channels—many of which are watched on digital video recording or online broadcasts—a countless number of websites, social networks, and software applications also deliver news in today’s information age. As a result of these developments in digital media, journalists have entered an era vastly different than the one navigated by Murrow.
电视新闻已经有了很大的发展,那时数百万美国人聚集在一起,观看爱德华·r·默罗(Edward R. Murrow)与约瑟夫·麦卡锡(Joseph McCarthy)在《See it Now》节目中的对决。相比之下,今天的新闻消费是完全不同步的。除了数以百计的电视频道——其中许多是通过数字录像或在线广播观看的——在今天的信息时代,无数的网站、社会网络和软件应用程序也提供新闻。由于数字媒体的这些发展,记者们进入了一个与莫罗所引领的时代截然不同的时代。
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Communication is an online, multi-media, academic journal that adheres to the highest standards of peer review and engages established and emerging scholars from anywhere in the world. The International Journal of Communication is an interdisciplinary journal that, while centered in communication, is open and welcoming to contributions from the many disciplines and approaches that meet at the crossroads that is communication study. We are interested in scholarship that crosses disciplinary lines and speaks to readers from a range of theoretical and methodological perspectives. In other words, the International Journal of Communication will be a forum for scholars when they address the wider audiences of our many sub-fields and specialties, rather than the location for the narrower conversations more appropriately conducted within more specialized journals. USC Annenberg Press USC Annenberg Press is committed to excellence in communication scholarship, journalism, media research, and application. To advance this goal, we edit and publish prominent scholarly publications that are both innovative and influential, and that chart new courses in their respective fields of study. Annenberg Press is among the first to deliver journal content online free of charge, and devoted to the wide dissemination of its content. Annenberg Press continues to offer scholars and readers a forum that meets the highest standards of peer review and engages established and emerging scholars from anywhere in the world.
