"What can news organisations learn from the digital innovators? And how is news changing in the age of the algorithm? This well-researched, clearly argued book identifies crucial lessons for news executives and journalists. Through a series of case studies Lucy Kung has distilled the experience of those at the leading edge of digital news for the benefit of others still catching up. Newsrooms may know the theory of success in the online social environment - but implementation is hard and the risks of failure high. Here, key steps by those who have succeeded are identified and analysed. Anyone with responsibility for managing media operations will benefit from this book." - Richard Sambrook, Professor of Journalism, Cardiff University; former Director of BBC News; "Lucy Kung's book provides lucid analysis based on detailed inside looks at five of the world's most interesting news organisations. Everyone in the news business should read it." - Tom Standage, Digital Editor and Deputy Editor, The Economist; "With Innovators in Digital News, Lucy Kung takes us on a revealing tour of some key contemporary transformations in the making of news in America and the United Kingdom. The accessibility of her writing style and the diversity of case studies will make this book particularly appealing to practitioners." - Pablo J. Boczkowski, Professor and Director, Program in Leadership for Creative Enterprises, Northwestern University
