Im Kontextdickicht. Der Ort des Journalismus in Zeiten neuer Speicherkulturen. : In context thicket. The place of journalism in times of digital memory cultures and storage technologies

Abstract

New and diverse forms of media use require consequences for the professional training and education of journalists. Is a radical redefinition of the place of journalism necessary? We see convergence processes that connect public and interpersonal communication intensively which leaves significant traces in the professional field of journalism. There is much talk of the crisis of journalism. Is it a crisis of the framework conditions of journalism in which at long last the precarization of the journalistic profession is reflected? Or are the upheavals results, which are mainly the immense effects of digital memory cultures and storage technologies reflected. Technology development is an essential aspect of the erosion of journalism. But it is also the core of the transformation process. Localization of journalism means asking the right questions: Questions about the relationship between public, editorial and mobilization. Storage technologies are a substantial driving force as well as bridge technology.
