Abstract

Seong Jae Min's book, "Rethinking the New Technology of Journalism: How Slowing Down Will Save the News," challenges the fast-paced nature of newsrooms and argues for the importance of slow journalism. The author examines the history of technological innovations in newsrooms and suggests that while these advancements are significant, they should not define the purpose of journalism. Min advocates for a gradual and mindful approach to adopting new technologies in the newsroom, emphasizing the core values and strengths of journalism. While the concept of slow journalism is promising, the book raises questions about its practicality in today's media environment. Further investigation is needed to explore how slow journalism can be operationalized and introduced into the field. [Extracted from the article]
