Inhaltsangabe

"Hierarchies, both within the profession of journalism as well as between journalism and its audiences are flattening. Employers in the news industry turn their organizations into “shell” or “zombie” institutions: alive with production, but dead with (waged) producers. The work that journalists do has become immaterial, and must be seen in conjunction with the “free labor” of news and information-producing “networked publics,” suggesting the emergence of a “long tail” for news. Amplified by trends online, a journalism without journalists is, in a traditional sense, a source of concern indeed. However, when seen through the critical lens of journalisms’ cosy relationship with society’s elite institutions (including itself) and the potential of re-engagement with a self-organizing and selfproducing citizenry, perhaps a journalism without journalists is exactly what we need."
