Instead of speculating, this volume offers rich empirical evidence about actual developments in online newsrooms. The authors use ethnographic methodologies to provide a vivid, close analysis of processes like newsroom integration, the transition of newspaper and radio journalists to digital multimedia production, the management of user-generated content, the coverage of electoral campaigns, the pressure of marketing logics, the relationship with bloggers or the redefinition of news genres. -- Publisher description.

Today's 50-year-old is the new 30-year-old. Do the math. It means...when we turned 16 we were really minus-4-years-old. This explains a lot. The corpuscles from our teen years still bob along through the arteries of our hearts, detouring around the clogs of middle age, searching for a place to fit in. We can laugh, we can cry, but 16 became a part of us. It's still lurking in murky corners. These essays and exaggerations will comfort you like a C+ on a calculus quiz. Hmmm...is it too late for extra credit? This modest epic has enabled thousands of humans to enjoy the imperfect wrinkles of life-without need for popularity, prestige, prosperity or plastic surgery. It could be in your hands. What are you waiting for? You're not getting any younger.

When she is mistaken for an extra on a new, up and coming TV show, her own star rises and she becomes the one in the photographs. Add that to the fact that she's falling for her co-star, Eliot Lane, and Danica is in a whole heap of trouble.

This collection seeks to interrogate this emergent genre in all its contradiction and complexity, looking equally at the ways that mommyblogs benefit some mothers while relegating others to the margins. Most importantly, however, this collection sheds light on a growing and overwhelming site of maternal narrative where many mothers are able to take on the "radical act" of speaking for themselves.
