Special Issue of Digital Journalism:
Epistemologies of Digital News Production (2025)
By Gregory P. Perreault, Maxwell Foxman, Phoebe Maares & Valerie Hase
Understanding journalists’ methods to acquire and validate their knowledge has been a key focus in journalism studies. From a sociological viewpoint, journalists are crucial knowledge creators, as their main tasks involve gathering, assembling, and disseminating news. However, technological disruptions in the twenty first century have posed significant challenges to journalistic ways of knowing. This Special Issue aims to rethink digital news production through the lens of power, by theoretically reexamining changes in journalistic epistemologies, describing these changes (such as those affecting epistemic practices), and placing them in context (such as through the influence of resource access, political contexts, or the adaptation of digital technology throughout socio-cultural environments).
