I hope this is an appropriate place to circulate the following call for papers: New Technologies are impacting on the way we produce, receive, access and even interpret news. Traditional definitions of news are being challenged by new and emerging technologies, especially those that demand faster responses in the news production process. This issue of Transformations explores the impact of new technologies on news content and news practices, and seeks to discuss the implications of this, as well as future directions. We are seeking papers which contribute to the debates and discussions currently occuring in the area. Submissions should explore the theme, or aspects of it, in practical and theoretical ways. Papers which have a particular focus on the theme in relation to region and regionality are particularly welcome.
