About the journal

Aims and scope
Digital Journalism provides a critical forum for scholarly discussion, analysis and responses to the wide ranging implications of digital technologies, along with economic, political and cultural developments, for the practice and study of journalism. Radical shifts in journalism are changing every aspect of the production, content and reception of news; and at a dramatic pace which has transformed ‘new media’ into ‘legacy media’ in barely a decade. These crucial changes challenge traditional assumptions in journalism practice, scholarship and education, make definitional boundaries fluid and require reassessment of even the most fundamental questions such as "What is journalism?" and "Who is a journalist?"
Digital Journalism pursues a significant and exciting editorial agenda including:
- Digital media and the future of journalism;
- Social media as sources and drivers of news;
- The changing ‘places’ and ‘spaces’ of news production and consumption in the context of digital media;
- News on the move and mobile telephony;
- The personalisation of news;
- Business models for funding digital journalism in the digital economy;
- Developments in data journalism and data visualisation;
- New research methods to analyse and explore digital journalism;
- Hyperlocalism and new understandings of community journalism;
- Changing relationships between journalists, sources and audiences;
- Citizen and participatory journalism;
- Machine written news and the automation of journalism;
- The history and evolution of online journalism;
- Changing journalism ethics in a digital setting;
- New challenges and directions for journalism education and training;
- Digital journalism, protest and democracy;
- Journalists’ changing role perceptions;
- Wikileaks and novel forms of investigative journalism.
All articles in Digital Journalism have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymised refereeing by two anonymous referees. Instructions for Authors can be found here.

"Journalism is going through a revolutionary change, and needs a new journal, international team and partnership between journalists and academics to make sense of what is happening. This is a brilliant initiative." James Curran, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK
"Why endorse a new journal with a leading publisher, an editor of proven quality, and an enormously important topic that has come into its own? Its value is self-evident!" Professor Michael Schudson, Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, USA
"From thinking about ‘story’ to basic fact-checking, we have changed our journalism practice. These shifts are so profound that it’s time to put digital journalism at centre-stage as the subject of a research journal." Professor Wendy Bacon, The Australian Centre for Independent Journalism, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia
"Digital Journalism promises to be at the frontiers of knowledge in journalism studies, publishing cutting-edge scholarship on the structural changes journalism is currently undergoing. This is not only welcome, it is also very much necessary to redefine the profession." Professor Marcel Broersma, Groningen University, Netherlands
"The development of digital media technologies has had a profound impact on the practices and ideologies of journalism around the world. As a journal dedicated to research into these developments, Digital Journalism is a welcome addition to the burgeoning field of journalism studies." Professor Herman Wasserman, Rhodes University, South Africa
"Digital media are transforming the ethics of journalism which must address new issues related to privacy, source credibility, citizen content and the use of visual images. I have no doubt that Digital Journalism will become a key forum for debate about crucial issues of concern to academics, journalists and everyone concerned with the quality of civic discourse." Professor Karen Sanders, University CEU San Pablo, Madrid
"Given the rapid pace of change in journalism worldwide, and the transformational impacts it is having on how news is produced and distributed, Digital Journalism is a timely contribution to these debates." Professor Terry Flew, Queensland University of Technology Australia

About the journal
Digital Journalism is an international, peer reviewed journal, publishing high-quality, original research. Please see the journal’s Aims & Scope for information about its focus and peer-review policy.
Please note that this journal only publishes manuscripts in English.
Peer review
Taylor & Francis is committed to peer-review integrity and upholding the highest standards of review. Once your paper has been assessed for suitability by the editor, it will then be double blind peer-reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees. Find out more about what to expect during peer review and read our guidance on publishing ethics.
Preparing your paper
Structure
Manuscripts should be compiled in the following order: title page (including Acknowledgements as well as Funding and grant-awarding bodies); abstract; keywords; main text; references; appendices (as appropriate); table(s) with caption(s) (on individual pages); figure caption(s) (as a list).
Word limits
Please include a word count for your paper. A typical article for this journal should be more than 6000 and no more than 9000 words; this limit includes everything from title to references. A typical Book Review for this journal should be more than 800 and no more than 1000 words; this limit includes everything from title to references.
Format-Free Submission
Authors may submit their paper in any scholarly format or layout. Manuscripts may be supplied as single or multiple files. These can be Word, rich text format (rtf), open document format (odt), or PDF files. Figures and tables can be placed within the text or submitted as separate documents. Figures should be of sufficient resolution to enable refereeing.
- There are no strict formatting requirements, but all manuscripts must contain the essential elements needed to evaluate a manuscript: abstract, author affiliation, figures, tables, funder information, references. Further details may be requested upon acceptance.
- References can be in any style or format, so long as a consistent scholarly citation format is applied. Author name(s), journal or book title, article or chapter title, year of publication, volume and issue (where appropriate) and page numbers are essential. All bibliographic entries must contain a corresponding in-text citation. The addition of DOI (Digital Object Identifier) numbers is recommended but not essential.
- The journal reference style will be applied to the paper post-acceptance by Taylor & Francis.
- Spelling can be US or UK English so long as usage is consistent.
Note that, regardless of the file format of the original submission, an editable version of the article must be supplied at the revision stage.
References
Please use this reference style guide when preparing your paper. An EndNote output styleis also available to assist you.
Please note that DOI numbers should be provided for all journal references.
1) Identify references in text within parentheses, e.g. (Sussman 1997, 70–72). Use 1997a and 1997b, etc for works by the same author in the same year. Titles of books and journals are in italics. Capitalize the first letter of words in titles of articles and books.
PLEASE NOTE: Give each author’s full name, i.e. first and last names, not last name with initials: e.g. Tuchman, Gaye NOT Tuchman, G. (initials may stand for middle names).
2) References should be set out at the end of the article. See point 4 below for personal communications and interviews.
3) All references in the reference list must appear in the text and all references cited in the text must have an entry in the reference list. Please cross-check carefully, making sure that spellings and years are correct in the text and reference list. Note: Newspapers and magazines are cited in the text, and no entry is normally needed in the references, e.g.:
“quotation from newspaper” ( Sunday Times, April 8, 2012) ... as noted in a Guardian article on February 27, 2012 ...
Where entries are more suitable for the bibliography, follow these examples for the reference list:

Online newspaper article
Stolberg, Sheryl Gay, and Robert Pear. 2010. "Wary Centrists Posing Challenge in Health Care Vote." New York Times, February 27. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/28/us/politics/28health.html.

Website
Google. 2009. "Google Privacy Policy." http://www.google.com/intl/en/privacypolicy.html.
4) Details of personal communications and interviews should be given in the text or Notes, not in the reference list. The person’s first name or initial should be given the first time they are cited unless their full name has already been used in the text. For example (Randy Hope Goodman, personal communication, February 22, 2008), with the shortened version used for any subsequent citations, e.g. (Goodman, personal communication, February 22, 2008). The format of the date depends on whether it is a US- or UK-style paper so it would appear as, e.g., (Victoria Sponge, interview, 22 February 2008) in UK papers.
