Alessandro D’Arma and Maria Michalis Publish Book on Public Service Journalism

Challenges and Developments in Public Service Journalism examines the role of public service journalism, as well as the opportunities and challenges of delivering it in today’s increasingly complex and competitive digital media environment. The volume is organised in three parts: ‘Normative frameworks’; ‘Platform Power, Artificial Intelligence and Public Service Journalism’; and ‘National and Regional Cases’ in Europe and beyond – especially Africa, Asia and India. The book addresses the formidable challenges facing public service journalism in the digital media ecology and provides rich and insightful analyses based on empirical research with findings that are relevant for policy interventions, developing organisational strategy, and for applied practice.

Alessandro D’Arma and Maria Michalis are the lead editors along with Gregory Ferrell Lowe and Michael-Bernhard Zita. The open-access book is the 11th RIPE Reader, and the first in the series to published by the University of Westminster Press with the support of IAPMR.
