Biography
Scott A. Eldridge II is an Assistant Professor at the Centre for Media and Journalism Studies, University of Groningen. His work in digital journalism studies explores discourses of identity and the changing journalistic field. He is co-editor, with Bob Franklin, of the Routledge Companion to Digital Journalism Studies, and Reviews Editor for the journal Digital Journalism.
‘This book is essential reading for anyone serious about understanding journalism of the present and the future. Dr Eldridge’s lucid and highly engaging writing style offers a measured consideration of new journalistic actors - what he terms (contrary) interlopers from the periphery - and how they expand and challenge established norms and values of the journalistic field.’
Einar Thorsen, Associate Professor of Journalism and Communication, Bounemouth University, UK
