The Online Journalism Handbook has established itself globally as the leading guide to the fast-moving world of digital journalism, showcasing the multiple possibilities for researching, writing and storytelling offered to journalists through new technologies.

In this new edition, Paul Bradshaw presents an engaging mix of technological expertise with real world practical guidance to illustrate how those training and working as journalists can improve the development, presentation and global reach of their story through web-based technologies.

The new edition is thoroughly revised and updated, featuring:

• a significantly expanded section on the history of online journalism business models;
• a new focus on the shift to mobile-first methods of consumption and production;
• a brand new chapter on online media law written by Professor Tim Crook of Goldsmiths, University of London, UK;
• a redeveloped section on interactivity, with an introduction to coding for journalists;
• advice on the journalistic uses of vertical video, live video, 360 and VR.

The Online Journalism Handbook is a guide for all journalism students and professional journalists, as well as being of key interest to digital media practitioners.

"The Online Journalism Handbook provides a good overview of the various types of online news that journalists are asked to produce today." --Barbara Jungwirth, Reliable Translations

Written in an engaging style... Logical chapter breakdown - relatively easy to find what you want at a glance...Would be nice to get better spread of visuals throughout the text. - Catherine O'Connor, Head of Centre for Journalism, Leeds Trinity University

Intelligently and accessibly written, even when dealing with some fairly complex material... The book has filled a gaping hole in the field!...Some of it...is a touch too complex for level one or two undergraduates. - Sharon Wheeler, Senior Lecturer in Journalism, Portsmouth University

It covers most, if not all, of the current areas that are impacting on and changing the dynamics of contemporary journalistic practice... We continue to hear that hyperlocal/community journalism will play a role in shaping the future of the industry... Would an updated edition benefit from a closer look at this debate? - David Randles, University of Salford

It debunks myths about the internet and online journalism and is written in an accessible, intelligent, clear style without any unnecessary techno-babble. It is highly suitable for both students and journalism lecturers... I feel there could be more on how journalists use online tools to research news and features...Some interactive exercises and MCQs would also be useful teaching tools. - Sallyanne Duncan, Programme Director for the MLitt Digital Journalism, Strathclyde University

I very much like the blend of theory and practical in this text, which provides a comprehensive perspective of what had been for me, a gap in the market... There is also scope to look at useful apps for journalists.g. AudioBoo and SoundCloud etc... Perhaps podcasts or vodcasts with the authors/specialist case studies might be one idea? - Dr Amanda Geary Pate, Programme Leader BA (Hons) Journalism/Lecturer in Journalism, University of the West of Scotland

It might be clearer if all the research tips were brought into one section in the book... Perhaps it might make more sense to have a general chapter on multimedia that brought together audio and video... It might make sense to look more at business models/revenue generation for online journalism, at setting up sites and online media businesses and at new advertising models. -
