ABSTRACT
As journalism barrels through the 21st century, its identity becomes more complex. Many of the giants of the last century—the New York Times, BBC, Le Monde, Asahi Shimbun—continue to produce news, gain access to elite sources, and reach large audiences. Thousands of other news organizations each day churn out news content while adjusting to a digital media landscape much different from the mass communication dynamics of the previous century. New actors arise to challenge or supplement traditional news organizations, as do new types of practices or values outside traditional understandings of journalism.
