| Summary: | "New media has brought along constant evolution to professional journalism practices and news genres. Online news practices challenge the occupational jurisdiction of journalism with a multiplicity of conflicting and competing journalistic ideals, such as objectivity, transparency and participation. In order to prepare journalist students to live up to the demands of online journalism today, journalism schools have developed courses that emphasize journalistic practice on online news platforms and tools, such as Twitter, WordPress.com, Soundslides Plus, etc. Drawing on the theoretical lens of digital literacies, the present study problematizes the emphasis on transmission of certain professional values and news formats without raising students' critical awareness that there can be diversity of values. Methodologically, the present study proposes a genre-aware, semiotic-aware, critical framework that aims at analyzing digital literacies required and practiced by online journalists. It simultaneously encompasses dimensions of professional culture, professional practices, and abstraction of instantiated meaning making via multimodal semiotic resources. The major audiences include online journalism educators, journalism students and online journalism practitioners. The subject areas include journalism and mass communication, curriculum studies, and digital literacies"-- |
