TL;DR: The use of digital technology has transformed the way news is produced, distributed, and received as mentioned in this paper, and scholars of journalism have shifted their focus to the role of technology in the news.
Abstract: The use of digital technology has transformed the way news is produced, distributed, and received. Just as media organizations and journalists have realized that technology is a central and indispensable part of their enterprise, scholars of journalism have shifted their focus to the role of technology. In Remaking the News, leading scholars chart the future of studies on technology and journalism in the digital age. These ongoing changes in journalism invite scholars to rethink how they approach this dynamic field of inquiry. The contributors consider theoretical and methodological issues; concepts from the social science canon that can help make sense of journalism; the occupational culture and practice of journalism; and major gaps in current scholarship on the news: analyses of inequality, history, and failure.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that prior to implementation, TURBT operative dictations performed by residents lacked many of the critical components required for a quality TUR BT, but once properly instructed, a relatively simple 'checklist' can be easily implemented and serve as a teaching tool for residents in training to ensure critical procedural elements are documented.
Abstract: INTRODUCTION To assess the quality of resident dictations for transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). One indicator of surgical quality is the completeness of the operative report. Surprisingly, there is a paucity of standardized operative templates for TURBT and little formalized instruction for learners. The quality of TURBT dictations was assessed and areas of improvement were determined after implementation of a 10 item TURBT checklist. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of the last 50 TURBT operative reports dictated by residents was performed. A 'TURBT checklist' was used assessing 10 key factors in documentation. A formal training session regarding TURBT dictations was given with TURBT checklists handed out to each trainee. Fifty TURBT dictations were subsequently analyzed. RESULTS TURBT dictations improved across the board following checklist implementation. Total number of checklist items dictated increased to 7.0 from 2.6 prior (p < 0.05). When stratified by resident experience, TURBT dictations improved across different resident years (p < 0.05). Junior resident dictations statistically improved in every checklist item (p < 0.05). Senior resident dictations improved in almost every category but only two reached statistical significance. A regression model demonstrated checklist implantation to be a significant predictor of improvement in mean number of checklist items dictated independent of PGY level. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates that prior to implementation, TURBT operative dictations performed by residents lacked many of the critical components required for a quality TURBT. However, once properly instructed, a relatively simple 'checklist' can be easily implemented and serve as a teaching tool for residents in training to ensure critical procedural elements are documented.

TL;DR: Schudson can be seen as a moderate, critical-yet reasonable sociologist of knowledge as discussed by the authors, which reveals itself most clearly in his very first work, his doctoral dissertation, completed in 1976 and published in full in 1990.
Abstract: Although we often do not think of him this way, Michael Schudson can be seen as a moderate, critical-yet reasonable sociologist of knowledge. This identity reveals itself most clearly in his very first work, his doctoral dissertation, completed in 1976 and published in full in 1990. The second part of this essay argues that in his later career Schudson turned his gaze from questions of knowledge per se to questions of occupational expertise. I frame this turn towards the normative by recounting what we might call the Schudson–Carey debate over the nature and desirability of journalistic and professional expertise. I then tie this debate into current battles over the status of journalistic professionalism in the digital age. I conclude the essay by arguing that, while normative debates over the status of journalistic expertise remain important in 2017, these claims are also confronting a radically altered socio-technical environment. In our current unsettled times, Schudson’s sociologist of knowledge may—a...

TL;DR: The authors applied Neff's venture labor concept to crisis in journalistic production and attempts by journalism schools to reconcile their roles of training students for a professional workforce with the slow-motion disintegration of that workforce.
Abstract: This essay applies Neff’s venture labor concept to crisis in journalistic production and attempts by journalism schools to reconcile their roles of training students for a professional workforce with the slow-motion disintegration of that workforce. Specifically, it looks at entrepreneurial journalism training programs in the United States and the complex ways these programs both reify and challenge notion of venture labor.
