SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON EMERGING TRENDS IN LIBRAR...

This book will contemplate the nature of our participatory digital media culture  the diversity
of actors involved  and how the role of the news librarian has evolved-from information
gatekeeper to knowledge networker  collaborating and facilitating content creation with print
and broadcast media professionals. It will explore how information professionals assist in the
newsroom  drawing on the author's experiential knowledge as an embedded research librarian in
the media industry. The past decade has seen significant changes in the media landscape. Large
media outlets have traditionally controlled news and information flows  with everyone obtaining
news via these dominant channels. In the digital world  the nature of what constitutes news has
changed in fundamental ways. Social media and technologies such as crowdsourcing now play a
pivotal role in how broadcast media connects and engages with their audiences. The book will
focus on news reporting in the age of social media  examining the significance of verification
and evaluating social media content from a journalistic and Information Science (IS)
perspective. With such an emphasis on using social media for research  it is imperative to have
mechanisms in place to make sure that information is authoritative before passing it on to a
client as correct and accurate. Technology innovation and the 24 7 news cycle are driving
forces compelling information professionals and journalists alike to adapt and learn new
skills. The shift to tablets and smartphones for communication  news  and entertainment has
dramatically changed the library and media landscape. Finally  we will consider automated
journalism and examine future roles for news library professionals in the age of digital social
media.
