Description:
Professional journalists must compete with non-professional or even deliberately manipulated news; they must be reliable and trustworthy sources of news amidst contemporary information chaos and acquire the indispensable ability to make creative and responsible use of digital tools. In the last five years, the authors of this volume have been working hard to create innovative teaching methods and learning materials for the next generation of journalists in the framework of two Strategic Partnership Projects of the European Union. The researchers and lecturers who contributed to this book are from the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Portugal, and Romania. The book's content is the result of their research, focusing on specific journalistic fields. Some of them are mainly related to technological developments (like data journalism or artificial intelligence and journalism, robot journalism and algorithms), while others are connected to the social role of journalism (like ethical challenges of the digital public sphere or covering migration); these aspects are strongly intertwined in practice. The volume is recommended to everyone interested in the current trends of European journalism, but primarily to media and journalism students and lecturers. Furthermore, it can be applied as a part of journalistic courses in Higher Educational Institutions.
