Journalismus, Medien und Technologien stehen in engen Wechselbeziehungen, wobei neue Technologien ihr Potenzial in den kulturellen Kontexten entfalten, in denen sie eingesetzt werden. Der Band betrachtet, wie sich medientechnologische Innovationen in einem Zeitraum von über 150 Jahren durchsetzten oder scheiterten. Dabei stehen die Konsequenzen des raschen technologischen Wandels im Zentrum: der Einfluss auf die Arbeitsanforderungen und -prozesse in den Medienbetrieben sowie auf die Berufsrollen und sozialen Selbstbilder von Journalisten.
