Over the last 20 years, ongoing waves of digitalization have decimated the traditional business model of the news and fundamentally changed how the news, or more formally, the 'institutional press', works. It is hard to overstate the importance of this crisis of the institutional press. The news provides our primary means for understanding the world around us. Societies desperately need a well-functioning institutional press to tackle the many societal, economic, and environmental challenges we all face.
This phenomenon-driven special issue is motivated by the view that students, researchers, and society urgently need a better understanding of the causes and consequences of the changing nature of news in the digital era and potential solutions going forward. The special issue takes an interdisciplinary perspective, bringing together insights from across the broader information, managerial, and organizational sciences.
We invite scholarship that helps academia and society (1) comprehend the major changes taking place within the institutional press, why those changes are occurring, and what the consequences of those changes are; and (2) work together toward a more positive future for the institutional press.
Few problems of today epitomize the intersection of the technological and the institutional as the modern day Fourth Estate. To encourage the necessary scholarship on the challenges and opportunities facing it, we have assembled an interdisciplinary research team of scholars across diverse theoretical and methodological paradigms. We encourage an equally diverse breadth of scholars to submit their work to this special issue. All methodological genres are welcome.
The fundamental challenge that spurred this Special Issue is, "How do we reimagine the institutional press in the Digital Era?" More aspiringly, "How can scholars turn these challenges into opportunities for society as a whole?"
