Now in its third edition, Mobile and Social Media Journalism continues to be an essential resource for those learning about how journalists and news organizations use mobile and social media to gather news, distribute content, and engage with audiences.

Merging theory and practice, this textbook includes checklists and practical activities in every chapter, enabling readers to immediately build the mobile and social media skills that today’s journalists need and which news organizations expect. This third edition retains a focus on journalism’s core values, such as authentication, verification, and credibility, while guiding readers on how to apply them to digital media activities. The book offers an in-depth discussion of the audience’s active role in producing content, how mobile devices and social media have changed the way audiences consume news, and what these changes mean for journalists. Updated to address the latest trends in multimedia journalism, this edition includes new material on the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), increased polarization of media, and shifting algorithms on social platforms. Increased attention is paid to visual content for social storytelling as well as how journalists can look after their mental health when exposed to online harassment and cognitive overload.

This book is essential reading for journalism students as well as media professionals seeking to update their skills.
