Pearson & Kosicki publish paper in Journalism Studies

Congratulations to George Pearson and Jerry Kosicki for their paper -- now available online -- "How way-Finding is Challenging Gatekeeping in the Digital Age" in Journalism Studies. The paper "re-evaluates the relevance of the gatekeeping framework in the twenty-first century, arguing that in an age of digital journalism the gatekeeping metaphor has begun to restrict our study of journalism."
