Rethinking the New Technology of Journalism

Rethinking the New Technology of Journalism, Volume 1, examines the tension between rapid digital delivery and quality reporting. Author Seong Jae Min analyzes how the pursuit of clicks often leads to sensationalism and errors in modern media. This literature title advocates for slow journalism, a movement prioritizing deliberate and considered reporting to better support democratic interests.

The text explores the evolution of media technology from the printing press to artificial intelligence. Min argues that the core problem in contemporary news is an overreliance on technological bells and whistles rather than traditional shoe-leather reporting. By focusing on careful observation and direct human interaction, Rethinking the New Technology of Journalism presents a case for returning to the civic roots of the profession.
