Dear AOIR colleagues, I am pleased to share that a new book I have co-authored with Helen SIssons, *The 'Socially Networked' Newsroom: Journalists and their Discourses of Digital Communication*, will be published by Bloomsbury in May. See: https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/socially-networked-newsroom-9781350476714/ The book explores the discourses of digital communication in contemporary journalism through observations of both online and offline interactions in newsrooms between journalists and with their sources, and includes analysis of interviews, and digital texts. Drawing on 300 hours of video-ethnographic material collected across three New Zealand newsrooms, it applies innovative qualitative methodologies to examine how journalists engage with digital technologies in story production and how these technologies are reshaping journalistic practice. Using a Social Media Critical Discourse Studies approach, we analyse these complex interactions offering insights into changing dynamics and power relationships between journalists and their news organisations, exploring the ways in which digital technologies have become embedded and normalised in journalistic discourse. We also consider the impact of audience expectations on journalists, especially as trends have shown a shift of news consumption to social media platforms and alternative websites.The book also considers how the techno-discursive architecture of the internet is contributing to intensified work practices and shifting notions of journalist identity. We hope the book will be of interest to those engaged in journalism studies, media and communication research, and anyone concerned with the future of news production. With best wishes, Philippa Smith https://www.linkedin.com/in/philippa-smith-nz/ The Socially Networked Newsroom List of Chapters: 1 Behind the Screens: Observing the Digital Transformation of Newsrooms 2 The Technological Disruption of Journalism 3 Introducing Video Ethnography to Social Media Critical Discourse Studies 4 Blurred Lines and shifting Roles: The Changing Boundaries of Journalism Practice and Identity 5 Performing Professionalism: How Journalists Legitimize Digital Work 6 A Convergence of Crises and an Uncertain Future 7 Journalism Going Forward: Reflections and Realignments
