Abstract

A computational comparison study of Western and Chinese literature on journalism studies after 2010 shows that Chinese literature pays more attention to journalistic practices, norms and polices. Instead of ‘digital journalism’, ‘media convergence’ is a popular and widely used term in China that refers to the digital transformation of Chinese journalism. The transformation of legacy news media in China occurs at two levels: ideational, such as news values, norms, journalists’ roles and identity; and organizational, such as newsroom structure, routines and the news production process. Platforms have infiltrated our everyday life, resulting in what scholars refer to as the platformization of society. Platformization can be defined as ‘the penetration of economic, governmental, and infrastructural extensions of digital platforms into the web and app ecosystems’. In the past two decades, under increasing economic pressure, the news industry is experiencing journalism crises due to declining circulations and advertising revenues.
