Seong Jae Min (2021/2022). Rethinking the New Technology of Journalism: How Slowing Down Will Save the News. Penn State University Press. e-book: Nov. 2021, hardcopy: Mar. 2022. The frenetic pace of modern life subjected every facet of society, including newsrooms, to cutthroat competitions and relentless pursuit of speed. Journalists today live by the grand discourse of speedy technological innovation, struggling to catch up with new tools. Is technology a vital force in journalism that would make or break the industry’s fate? Shattering the conventional industry wisdom that technology determines journalism’s forms, content, and its ultimate success, this book suggests that, from the printing press to blockchain, technologies’ role in journalism has been overstated. The book calls for a “slow journalism,” a respite from the hectic pace of newswork and incessant innovation, and appreciation of long-term collaboration and reflection that enhance journalism’s core missions and functions in society. Available from Amazon and Google Play Books for a discounted price in March ($9.99 e-book). Descriptions from the Penn State Press: https://www.psupress.org/books/titles/978-0-271-09248-5.html
