This special issue of Digital Journalism welcomes contributions that reassess theories of journalism related to digitalization and the normative assumptions underpinning most of journalism studies, especially regarding the relationship between journalism and democracy. Although this call for papers takes processes of digitalization as its starting point, the special issue does not intend to promote deterministic theories. Contributions that critically question the assumed causal relationship between digital technologies and the changing practices and cultures of journalism are welcomed.
