Integration of News and News of Integration: A Structural Perspective on News Media Changes

Abstract

This article explores how the integration of new media into established firms has altered the structures of news operations and induced managers to alter internal operations and consider cooperation and alliances with other firms. These changes have been made to increase innovation, reduce organizational barriers, and facilitate knowledge sharing, but they have also met journalistic resistance because they have altered the influences on work processes and introduced new norms into news operations.
