Cultural Journalism in the Digital Age provides the first international, book-length introduction to Western cultural journalism, a distinct type of professional journalism that has expanded and diversified significantly, particularly from the mid-20th century into the first decades of the 21st century.The book shows how cultural journalism, in response to cultural democratisation, globalisation, and digitalisation, engages with a wide spectrum of issues – from culture understood narrowly as arts and popular culture to broader notions encompassing norms, values, and traditions. Drawing on media theoretical, historical, and sociological perspectives, as well as insights from cultural criticism and cultural sociology, the book offers an original examination of cultural journalism as an alternative to traditional hard news reporting, exploring how the field continues to provide a cultural lens on society, serve as a sociocultural “glue”, and set agendas for cultural reflection and debate. Structured around five main chapters, the book addresses key questions, such as what characterises cultural journalism as a research field? What are its democratic roles? What counts as “culture” in cultural journalism? What constitutes its journalistic form? And who are the professionals producing it?Through these analyses, the book makes a significant scholarly contribution by bridging research and newsroom practice. It will appeal to general readers, policy makers, and researchers in the fields of journalism, media studies, digital media, and cultural sociology.

“Combining scholarly depth with an engaging and accessible narrative, this introduction brings the research field of cultural journalism to life. It maps its history, boundaries, and societal importance with impressive clarity, making it a key foundational text for anyone seeking to understand cultural journalism today.”-- Professor Jan Fredrik Hovden, Department of Sociology, University of Bergen, Norway“In this comprehensive volume, Nete Nørgaard Kristensen intriguingly and pedagogically covers cultural journalism as an integral part of sociocultural transformations, bringing readers from historical background, through the digital era’s algorithmic cultures, and into the future. Through concrete examples and thorough theorization, she unveils the professional logics, the political potential, as well as the popular and aesthetical appeal of cultural journalism. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in cultural journalism, and indeed to anyone interested in journalism and sociocultural developments more broadly.” -- Professor Anna Roosvall, Department of Media Studies, Stockholm University, Sweden
