“In this insightful and engaging exploration of journalism startups and the people behind them, Deuze and Witschge break from narrow disciplinary boundaries in much the same way their subjects have broken from occupational ones. A must-read for anyone interested in the many forms contemporary journalism is taking, and the ‘rascals and rebels’ leading the way.”Jane Singer, City, University of London “To go beyond journalism, these scholars contest tacit assumptions about journalism and journalism studies, arguing that journalism has never been stable but is always becoming. Enter, then, this research on journalism startups, exemplary of how journalism as becoming is both praxis and ideology.”Nikki Usher, University of Illinois“In Beyond Journalism, Deuze and Witschge have seized upon the exciting energy felt among journalists who are working beyond the confines of traditional newsrooms.”Hyperallergic“Students, scholars, and professionals interested in journalism and entrepreneurship may find this book of interest.”Communication Booknotes Quarterly
