The ethics of participation, sharing and collaboration in networked media cultures: new digital technologies and participatory models of knowledge production

The main objective of this paper is to explore and describe the rise of the Internet as a technological innovation, regulatory changes and emerging artificial intelligence tools, and the increasing prevalence of entertainment-oriented news content. Hermans et al. examine how the use of Internet applications by journalists working in mainstream news media is influenced by social context factors, and look into the relation between journalists' professional opinions about the impact of the Internet on journalistic values and their actual use patterns. Sheridan Burns contends that critical reflection is an active commitment in journalists to scrutinize their own actions, exposing the processes and underlying values in their work while they are doing it. Monahan focuses on how news is put together and communicated to news consumers. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
